Analysis of seas of delight
bright green emerald waves
narrow fingers
clutch to the grey moss laden harbour walls
their grip eventually fading
unfolding into new blue indigo pastures
finally drifting out to sea
disappearing into a deep silent abyss
life long prisoners of the wide open ocean
never dying
each night defying death
in calm tranquil waters
they rise like a phoenix
angels of delight
singing a sweet melodic melody
enticing seafaring folk and sailors
