The ocean blue

A poem about the beauty of imagination

Almost untouched by the hand of mankind,

A sight to be criticized only by the blind.

A blue sheet with secrets under the bed,

until the sun shines, when blue turns red.

From giant beasts to cute little things,

You never know what the sea brings.

A place where the deeper you go,

the less about it we know

Creatures with incredible speed,

are the ones to follow as they lead.

Others are feared for their fury,

Most step aside as vision becomes blurry.

The ocean blue is a simple tale,

said by any man with a sail.

However to uncover the deep,

one must swim free while asleep.

Author's Note

Stanza 1 - A sea that is untouched by mankind, no pollution, no buildings no nothing. Nature at it's purest, one of the most beautiful things you can imagine, which was real a long time ago. This stanza shows the beauty of the sea as you stare at it, blue that hides secrets underneath, like a bed sheet. Turning to a shade of red at sunrise

Stanza 2 - This stanza shows the vast and wonders the sea has to offer, from tiny cute things to fierce awesome monsters. There is always a single fact that still remains, that the deeper we go in our imagination, the less we truly know about it.

Stanza 3 - Stanza 3 differences two different types of "dreams" or "Imaginations", there are the ones we love, we follow, which act as out guide. Then are the ones we fear, the ones where we(most of us) step aside as the vision becomes blurry.

Stanza 4 - The final stanza says that the story of the ocean is actually quite simple, a dream can be explained by anyone who's every had one, but to really uncover the secrets, one must swim free while asleep, let his imagination go wild.
