Out of my reach

The sky so blue and wide 

The clouds floated and cried 

The raindrops added to the sea 

And the ocean's what came to be. 

The dark ocean, so big and huge 

Even if you wanted you couldn't take refuge 

So unforgiving and restless pride 

I couldn't find a home even when I tried. 

But the colour blue, collected and calm 

Misinterpreted like a false alarm 

The ocean's so grumpy and dark 

But its colour is bright and stark. 

The sky like a black hole 

Holding all the stars it stole 

At night it may be intimidating like fear 

But when the sun is up, it's cool and clear. 

Colour blue, with silvery specks of dust 

Like in a sandcastle, I'll pour in trust and trust 

I watch it standing and glinting on the beach 

Trying to touch a colour out of its reach.
