I am the sea

the deep blue sea is my attire,

I wear the depth I so desire

crashing waves make up my gown

bejeweled brine adorns my crown

my sleeves are trimmed with gentle grace

I sleep under the moon’s embrace

through fingers of a hand I’ll slip,

yet on my shoulders hold a ship

I am the tide, I come and go

I keep my secrets down below

a current rushes through my veins 

my flux cannot be caught in chains

midst calm and rage, I’m never still

I hold the power of free will

I’m partly still a mystery

look out to sea,

and you’ll find me
