Day 1:
By the shore, I felt inner peace
Tranquility sets in as waves came near
From the sea: a deep, blue haven
Shapeless, yet able to shape-up radiance
A paradise housing life underneath
Selflessly welcomes the ones out to reap
Edible specimens and incredible treasures
Sold in order to purchase earthly pleasures
The sea's also known for wiping out fatigue
Take a dip, and eventually, your energy's redeemed
Cleansing the mind, body and soul
From a profusion of lies, sadness and sorrows
So I rushed through the sea before me
Passing through the waves, embracing the cold feast
Rejuvenated, hence for the rest of the day
I lay afloat while a smile's engraved on my face
Day 2:
By the shore, I felt grave fear
Smell of terror surfaced as waves came near
From the sea: a blue beast taking no form
Yet forms formidable storms of all sorts
An abyss where drowned victims dwell
From swimmers to fishers, it unleashes hell
Villagers end up pillaged when seas turn angry
Their existence forcefully taken by tsunamis
A friend whose livelihood relied on every catch
Caught a whirlpool that caused his raft to crash
Survived by his wife and child
Yet this nuisance left the two of 'em high and dry
As they cry, my trembling heightens
For I'm certain I cannot withstand this leviathan
As much as I'd want to take a dip in waters
I'm afraid this time, I'll end up slaughtered
Day 3:
By the shore, I had an epiphany:
The sea's a breeding ground of terror and tranquility
Seemingly sincere that it's entirety's serene
Leaving millions of its visitors easily deceived
The reason as to why it has to terrorize
May be the fishermen utilizing dynamites and cyanide
Their methods leave the sea covered in wounds
So it heals by sending life forms into underwater tombs
Not out of vengeance, but rather, to establish
An everlasting balance between nature and sapiens
All of nature's resources come with a price
And sometimes, what it demands in return is human life
A give-and-take relationship should take place
Among all of the inhabitants of time and space
Henceforth, the sea undertook two roles:
A rejuvenator, and a taker of souls
