Gliding over the ocean's vast embrace

Rafts destroying homes for numerous species

Elegant in its lustrous, verdant shell

Eagles pounce on first flight

Never expressing mercy nor forgiving.

 

Surviving in menacing habitats

Enduring the moon’s tranquil glance and illumination of day

Across vast horizons, its journey long.

 

Tormented by plastics overshadowing oceans 

Unfurling tales of the ocean's lore

Ripples swarming the rivers and lakes

Threatened by the perils that people bestow

Legend of the waters, silent and wise

Eternal venturer beneath the skies.

Serene voyagers of the marine depths.
