Oceans

She was speaking of oceans to all that would hear
The beauty of the ocean with her cool Caribbean breezes
Her coolness, touching the shore, her beauty
of burning crystal, the color of sapphire blue or of the freezing
color
of aquamarine.

The beauty of the oceans of the desert, its waves of foam
rolling across its heated banks of dryness
In this heated dryness, an oasis, a cooling sanctuary of
lush cooling colors of green and life giving water, the color of blue.

The beauty of the oceans of the forest
A rolling surf of green, tumbling over reefs of evergreen
In the middle of this beauty a waterfall or a cool sparking
stream of fascination, the color of nature.

The beauty of the oceans of life are an endless mystery of
fascinating adventures
We crash upon the pounding reefs of life trying to survive
Or
We calmly flow upon the shores of life with only love held within
our hearts
The colors of life are an indescribable mirage of fascination
Yellow for sun filled days of love and laughter
Red for when we are being fiery with anger or filled with loving
passion
Blue for tranquility or deep sadness
Colors of peach, beige, powder blue, or the delicate shades of
candle light
soothing your weary soul
Our life rippling over the sands of time thirsting for knowledge
Just like the desert, our oasis is the bible leading us to everlasting
life.
Come my precious children
Enjoy the oceans of life.

Love Bon-Bon

The analogy works well. Also, when describing the ocean as you eloquently did, it reminded me of what I personaly seen when on vacation in the western Caribbean.

A treasured gift of oceans and
all other Heavenly gifts. We've
far more to enjoy then to complain
about!

Excellent write!

You brought the colors to life,
and painted them pretty.

So Beautifully~
