In the water, I am beautiful;

serene, when its sirens sing

me into seabreeze slumber.

But its rage can wreak havoc

that roars then rips through

roads and rocky mountains.

Elemental eloquence, its

ecosystem is a universe of

underwater excellence.

Aquatic artistry is evident in

every detail, from insignificant

algae to blue whales in all their

breathtaking magnificence.

Capable of capsizing acclaimed

ocean liners that could never sink,

or erasing entire continents

whose Atlantean existence still

remain an unsolved mystery to this day.

Poseidon's power knows no limits,

he could be both—the calm, but

also the storm.

Seamonsters, spinning cyclones,

tsunamis, and hurricanes could

just as simply become seashells,

sandcastles or skipping stones.

And in spite of all its splendour,

we must always remember that

no shipwreck or buried treasure

is worth risking the wrath of rivers

or the ocean's unpredictable nature.

“underwater excellence.”

— Aquamarine.
