True ultramarine

 

Azure sea, aquamarine
Sea of deep Mediterranean blue
I dream of you
Oh, ocean true
Stretching to the eternal horizons and through

Green sea, yellow sea,
Jade, coral and white
Waters of life lapping on the shore
Suddenly divide
Transparent in the sunlight
Reflecting the moonlight
Liquid silver and gold
Magic to behold

Pink and crimson in the sunset
Steely gray in the storm
Stern, deep brooding indigo
When the night is near
Black but purple, too
Always a true ultramarine blue

Oh seas of my life
Always remaining perfect and serene
Mixing the colours of blue and green
