With Pastel Colors

Oceans of Blue

Sinking into the deep waters,

you can't help but turn blue.

But the oceans all come together,

and the waves push you to the surface.

There, you lay,

relaxing upon the waters.

Oceans of blue

matches you well.

You always knew you'd be at your best

in the ripples of the salty ocean.

Blue oceans stretch for miles,

yet this is where you are.

Be at peace in this moment,

and know that the sunset is not too far.

Blue oceans of peace

flood over the guilt and unease,

and they drown out

the pain that you could not seize.

You did not even have to ask,

the blue oceans did as they pleased.

The salt stung at first,

but healed your wounds.

This is how all of us

should be of humanity.

More like oceans of blue,

we should be less like the sky, too.

We fly too far from reality

when we should just sit right here

and enjoy the time we have resting.

More like the oceans of blue,

we should no longer drown each other,

and instead,

flow together like waves.

Maybe then,

we would see the sun on a cloudy day.
