Ocean
August 27, 2021
We
Are the
Clear blue sea
Each touch propelling
The next, the
Circles of
Wave
And we
Are each small
Droplets, not enough
To move all
On our
Own
We own
The movement
Together, and we will rise
Rise to a swell
A tsunami
If only
We
Stand
Together like
A wall held fast
With mortar, unbreakable
A single drop can
Only do a
Small
Amount, a
Single drop can
Bend, but bond and we
Are strong and
We are the
Sea

I love your style of writing! The format is really cool, and your words flow nicely together, really making it feel like ocean waves. The meaning behind it is also really nice; I've heard the expression "a drop in the ocean" used typically in a negative way, so your poem was refreshing, and an interesting way to look at the comparison between our actions and their effects!
This piece is meant to look like ocean waves. It is a reminder to the reader that bonding together creates strength, and one action can propell a movement.
