A Beautiful Ocean

There once was an ocean who had many islands

These islands were beautiful and full of prosperity

They had lots of fruits and vegetables

Not only divine in color but rich in flavor

Every bite so delicious,

You want more

These islands varied in beauty

All perfect in their own way

The ocean was content and happy

Full of joy, hopes and dreams

Everything was indeed perfect

Until it wasn't

A ruthless storm came,

Taking control of this beautiful ocean

Making it destroy its precious islands

There was nothing the ocean could do except accept the will of nature

It was forced to swirl up enormous waves

That crashed upon these glorious islands

The storm brought wind, adding to the chaos

Sending fruits flying through the air like weapons

Smacking poor, innocent animals,

Killing them instantly

Tornadoes formed,

Uprooting trees and slamming them to the ground with loud booms

Birds screech as they try to flee

But the winds keep them spinning in circles

The ocean's paradise is no longer paradise

It's chaos

The ocean screams and screams for it to stop

As the hope,

Happiness,

And world of dreams

Sinks to the ocean floor

It does stop

But once all is gone

All that is left is the ocean

Sitting all pretty

With nothing

Here lies a victim of a tragedy

Who lost who it is

From the chaos that was lying at bay

It sits in the world of sorrow

Nothing to show now

It cries in agony

With no one knowing of the cries

Waiting for the day it will rise from the shackles

The storm has left.
