The Ocean Was Alive
By Kaela S
The ocean used to breathe Within it we believed
In peace, in hope, in glory.
The ocean rose and then it fell Within it we felt
Lost, lonely, little.
As we stood we heard waves Crashing against the cliff rocks
An ancient heart Beat-beat-beating
In time with our own.
Long days Summer sand
Watching the whales before they Swam away into the forever
Sunset.
Now in the ocean there's nothing left Nothing but plastic garbage
The ocean's carcass breathing no more An ancient heart
Silenced by hands that thought They knew best.
