Shade gives depth perception
Necessary when deepest ocean
Turns to shallows
Define the wreckage, rocks, cliffs

Tone brings more indifference
A wintry holiday by ocean
After reclaiming lost
Treasures awash with jetsam 

Tint a whitewashed 
Glossy smile and glint
Not knowing whether real
Seeking substance 

Hue is true and steadfast
No turning black to blue
Once seen believed
Richness not felt before
Nor again, but you
