We live by it
We survive by it
We grow by it
We die by it.

PIBBA Feature: Ripples of the Ocean
Calm and collected at the scene,
I see blue and green that reminds me of serene.
Grain of sands on my toes.
I love the feeling
The ripples of the water
Crashing on my body.
Oh the ocean,
How I cherish thee.

Ocean, Ocean
Why are you so giving?

Are you happy or sad today?
