As the water currents take us for an unwanted ride
swirling and turning,but with the laws of water, we abide
as the swift breezes blow along the waters top ,rippling waves
We sit calmly awaiting the morning light ,and the vision we crave
at Night we do not dare leave our homes
we stay side by sides in our underground holes
but then dawn breaks the nights black waters
light shining through the waves
reflecting off the sand and into our caves
Awake we swim around, searching for food
in this unforgiving ocean, we can't stray too far
at the waters edge the bird perch and wait with eyes glued
at the top of the water, there's splashes to show where we are
Schools of small fish are not a rare sight
but we stay still, our reflections being our camouflage
blending in with the water trying not to be seen but the birds take flight
and our groups separate, we only want survival , for an unknown cause
as the day ends and the night washes over
those of us left, take refuge and cover
we have lived another day
in an unforgiving bay
but now its time to rest and sleep
so we can have energy and our lives to keep
a simple poem may sound so unfierce and pretty
but in the ocean, our lives are a pitty
