Purple Sea

Austin Price, Editor in Chief

Lavender blue

Lavender green

Those are the colors

Of the purple sea 

The rain

Pitter patters

The salt

Spitz and spatters

Sailing ships

Seagulls cry

All beneath 

The purple pink sky

Jagged rocks

Like shark teeth

Sink into the souls

Of our flesh, fragile feet

Outlined in sand

Soaking, seaweed

Heavy waves of water

A new way of being

Salt in our hair

Sun in our eyes

Sand under our nails

A painful surprise

The sea is a haven

For the creatures of the deep

Both strong and tall

Small and weak

Lavender blue

Lavender green

Those are the colors

Of the purple sea
