*dips hand in the ocean*

misbehavingmaiar:

”I have known enchantment for the sea
for coasts of citrine, emerald, lazuli,
in the countless bounty millions reap,
and in terror of the deep.

For every ship may but the surface glide
each sailors’ muses mirror’d in your tide
yet life beneath writhes frenzied, brisk, and bleak
or else devouring slow, with hooks and beak.

Of these twain aspects I both admire;
Two sides of the sea’s dichotomous empire,
to them, I equally my heart bequeath:
the jewel’d surface, and the dread beneath.”
