The ocean changes from green to blue

turquoise then aqua the waves crash through

The sunlight enhances the water if you glare

Spellbound you cannot help but stare

Its beauty draws you in and hypnotizes

Watching the sunset is mesmerizing

Captivating and amazing as you hold your breath

Powerful enough to send me to their death

Moonlight enhances the changing hues

Green, turquoise, aqua and blue

The ocean stretches beyond what eyes can see

Holding within deep mysteries

The ocean is certainly powerful. I never cease to be amazed at its changes and its beauty. I live by the sea and almost every day I walk by it and each time it is different!
