Fathomless Turquoise Tranquility

Coral reefs colour clear aqua

Where clownfish race between urchins and flora

Gems of the underworld glitter in the leaked-through sunlight

~

One can barely comprehend the vastness of life

The cracks, crevices, and curves of

The turns, angles, and depths

~

Where scales shimmer

Salty sprays and waves waver

Flicker freckles across the countless sand

~

There is an everlasting sensation to the ocean

Bottomless as long as you can’t touch the bottom

Engulfing even the largest of possibilities

~

Fins flying without ever touching sky

Lingering clouds swim overhead lazily

The contradiction of water and air

~

Yet below the flurry of sea life

Burrow creatures of unknown uncertainties

Whole worlds yet to be discovered

~

The ridge of reef and rock

Crooked lines of tenacity

The underworld alive with so much more vigour sometimes
