GREEN SEA-GEMS
The sublime depths of the ocean hides a wonderland enchanting
Splendid mystery of the tender blue in a tawny wrapping
A garland of rainbow is woven on the cold clammy spray
As the vanilla sky darkens and the water turns to lilac-gray
Sea-gems on the pearly foam, jeweled in the auroral dawn
Gold filigrees laces on the garments of a rosy morn
A shining green trembles in the coves and bays
Coral halls are decked with diamonds in the distant dale
Chants of the seagulls are hypnotic and wild, when pieces of the sun are scattered on the rising tide
Fiercely trashing yet gentle, with lemonade kisses and lacy fizz caresses
It's a timeless carnival of the ocean orchestrated by the sun and moon
Swelling and shrinking, dancing in tune
Plangent tides toll like hidden bells as the ocean brim is crowned on the rippling emerald waves
Wild flood hisses in a fury, as the moon-blanched shore is a melancholic memory
When the moon is withered and dewy stars hang pale
Rapturous strains breaks the silence from the mermaid's cave
Spilling in the fog are faint laughter of the nymphs and the sirens caroling
Wreathed with kelp and seaweed are the wailing mists and seas moaning
Water-hillocks of pea-green pulsate and thrum, like the harps with glittering wires twang and strum
Colder than pearls are froth and the briny zephyr, when dulcet breath chimes and echoes on the weary harbor.
