A Journey Through the Sea 

Liv Palubeckis

Blue whales sift through the cerulean sea

Sea snakes slither through the soft currents

Dolphins leap out of the crisp ocean waves

Sharks snatch their prey with a pop of their jaw

Tropical fish swim happily through the warm water

Without the taint of decay hovering over the domain

The blues of the sea

Cerulean at the surface

Becoming deeper and darker towards the bottom

Until the core becomes icy blue

With the heart of the domain

Sending pulses of energy through the sea above

Matching the pinks of the sky

Soft shades of purple

Mixing themselves in

Reflecting the pink from the sky

To yellow and green

Onto the blue surface of the sea below

Flowing together and meeting at the horizon

In swirls of blue and purple and pink and yellow and green and thousands of colors

All alone on the lonely planet

The negative energy on the plane holding everything in place

Still

Silent

Except for the swaying of palm trees in the wind

Stuck forever on their small slabs of rock and sand

Floating endlessly, tirelessly through the soft ocean

And the crisp sounds of faint splashes

Of the soft ocean waves

Crashing into each other and the shores of sand

The lonely planet lives on

In swaths of color and sound

The sound of silence

And palm fronds brushing against each other

And dolphins crashing against the sea in leaps and bounds

And waves returning to their motherland

The ocean

The sea
