The Ocean bends the Light

The deep azure water leaves a pure tearstain, receding from the lonely sand.

Slowly cheered by the arid sun, giving heart to its sadness.

The forlorn ocean assaulted by all manner of inhumanities.

Still on the surface, bombarded by the light.

Stealing away the sting and replacing it with solemn beauty.

Even in the deepest darkness of the depths themselves, the denizens,

cast their own light to illuminate their lives to a survivable limbo.

The light is bent and broken,

but never taken away.

FANTASTIC. Words like azure, forlorn and solemn really add appeal to this poem. And then you spiced it up nicely with lovely imagery and alliteration. The last two lines were my absolute favorites(and I had to read this 5 times before I could decide which lines were my favorites). You sir, deserve a great round of applause for this lovely piece of poetry!(For the rating, I wanted to put 110, but the website wouldn't let me.)
