This poem is about how much I love the ocean and when there is nothing but blue sky above and the sun is out shinning on the top of the water. It is where I feel most happiest and at peace. This is one of the first pieces I wrote. My writing style comes from fantasy and imagination. I listen to a lot of music scores from films and some of my best writing idea's come when I am in the ocean, the shower or out for a walk in nature.

Ocean Glitter - image 1 - student project

In the clear depth

of the glittering sea,

the sun kisses the water above me,

turning the ocean into scattered stars

each shimmer a quiet reminder

that beauty doesn’t need permission

to exist,

as if it were made just for me.

I let my breath soften,

releasing all the air from my lungs.

I close my eyes

and slip beneath

its silk-like surface.

Sand waits for me below,

as if it has always known

I would arrive here eventually.

When I open my eyes

everything is blue-green

aqua and teal,

threaded with light

that feels like magic.

I have no fear.

no thoughts of what might be lurking

in the darker depths beyond me.

there is no past.

no future.

Just undisturbed presence.

It’s just me and her.

held by her.

she asks nothing of me

except to simply be.

And for a moment

even just a fleeting moment

I am the happiest

I’ve ever been.
