Waves

Waves that come and go
No one ever knows

what the tide will bring in today
Will it be a message in a bottle or manta ray?
The shoreline stretches as far as the eye can see
Oh what wonders wait for me.
As the cool wave flows in
I can see the sun setting.
Colors of orange, purple and blue
Light up the sky like a fresh painting
bright and vivid in my sight
as I await the night.
The ocean is home to so many
species of plenty
Sharks, dolphins and seals too
All call this their home of blue
Still there is a danger they are unaware
the fate that may come because of the lack of care.
Keeping our oceans clean and pure is a task for everyone
Still there is so much that can never be undone.
We must save what is left or else this water against the sand will
become bottom land.
The aquatic life within will end and
yet will still pretend there is no problem here.
Tell that to the ones that live there
With the oil, trash and pollution we must be the solution.
For they have been entrusted to us to save and protect
We are the negative effect we must turn it around.
It must stop now while there
is still time to help keep the waves alive
so that the life here can always abide.
Don't push the issue aside Together we can survive.
