Analysis of The Ocean
Here on a floating boat dock,listening to those never silent waves
Out in the ocean is where many sailors
have found their graves
Mysteries abound in these waters that hide the unseen
As of now,the water has taken on the color of sea green
Weekend adventurers in their sailboats
hoist sails bellowing above
Challenging that rolling ocean,that those weekend warriors certainly must love
