By Sophia George The ocean gives and the ocean takes
Stirring in its depths, a new life awakes The little wave peeks out its head Bobbing above the other waves it treads Looks up at the sun’s hot touch Thinks for a moment, decides it's not too much For that little wave to handle, that strong little wave A journey it must go on, a whole ocean it must brave But the wave, with eagerness, crosses the expanse ‘Cross the horizon of cerulean dreams it will dance Flitting from sea to shining sea, it swirls Through ripples and sprays and currents it will twirl Laughing across the expanse of ocean, Relishing the steady caress of the fierce sun As it turns the wave’s back into a cape of diamonds As the sun sees its reflection in a mirage beyond reason The wave, with its brothers, look up at the sight Of a little strip of land breaking the azure night The wave pushes forth, ahead of the rest Eager to prove to all it’s the best But as it comes close, a new feeling appears A contentment, a sleepiness the wave had feared It wanted to go on, to rush into war To see how quickly it could go, how far But as the wave approached the small island’s sands It had a new wish, a new dream at hand The wave grew tired, and slowing down, It heard the lulling lullaby sound Of the waves before him reaching the sand Gracing the shore with a dream and a plan They had made it home, and so the little wave too Wished to be free from the big prison of blue To be free, to be home, to find its rest The wave touched the shore with a breeze at its crest Before the wave fell down, caressing the shore Free from the confines of the jail of azure Free to rest well and as that hot sun shone The wave’s glossy face knew that it had reached home.
