Ocean Blue

by Lauraine Alberetti Lombara

I love my ocean blue,

Sweeping, salty, a sparkly jewel,

A must for sailing, swimming, basking…

Meditation for the asking.

But, filled with plastic refuse,

Disasters made by man…

Oil spills and garbage fills,

We need to take a stand!

Let’s make a pact to keep it clean; this can be our goal.

A thought before we leave a mess or litter that befouls.

Slowly does the change occur, yet if we try -

It can be done, for sure.
