I’m outside and I look a vast blueness in front of me
Blue everywhere, the salty air blowing my hair back
I taste the salt on my lips from the wind
I hear the seagulls’ overhead squawking and diving

I see fish flying out of the ocean
So graceful, having no care in the world
The crystals are on top of the ocean
sparkling with each wave crashing on the shore The Ocean, so full of life
