Poem Title:
Poem
As we slowly descend in the ocean so deep I glance up as if grabbing just one last peep A glimpse of the stars lacing the cloudless sky A bright full moon keeping my spirits high Such a strange feeling as the waters rose As if leaving a life that one so well knows Entrusting your being to the mercy of the sea Scared yet determined to unveil the mystery Engulfed by an aquatic wall so dense I gripped my torch, focusing its beam intense As the numbers grew on my shining depth gauge Was it the end of time or just another page And then suddenly spotting the ocean bed I adjust my eyes to see the wonders ahead An eerie sensation creeps up on me As if floating in space feeling oh so free Hovering on the sea floor, I cut off my light Letting the pitch darkness just seep inside Feeling strangely relaxed as if still on land I focus my eyes kneeling down on the sand And then like magic the world unfolds As if opening the door to treasures untold Shimmering like jewels forcing me to surrender Beautiful life forms from the world down under Awestruck, and unable to shift my gaze I stare at the crazy lights in the haze And I am filled with joy on a dark shadowy night Having witnessed such a truly magical sight
