Serenity

Deep beneath the dark blue sea, tranquil, turquoise serenity, as aqua waves wash ashore, sand dollars, brittle, are no more. Twice the tides will ebb again, stirring creatures from their dens, don't ask the oysters, they'll clam up, they always keep their clam lips shut. Watch the waves pushed by the wind, silver flash of scale and fin, the dolphins know eachother's names, the whales refuse to share the blame. A grain of sand becomes a pearl, while shale and coral spin and swirl, and deep down in the darkest depths sightless seaworms swim in sets. The demon of the deep glides by, the shark with flat and soulless eyes, the sky sends presents to the sea, shooting stars like mercury. This place where Man will never tread Is where God goes to lay His head.

This is such a beautiful and really so serene Danielle. The imagery is so vivid. Though I haven't even seen a see in real but Oh my I could really feel that I was witnessing it just now! The touch of alliteration just added to it. It sure goes into my favs. Love, Chitra
