Admiring a Coral Reef

more glorious than any painting
the coral reef puts a psychedelic trip to shame
schools of fish swim by, ...were they sapphire or cobalt?
their bio luminous look fascinates me
they are gone before I can gather my thoughts

a swarm of cherry heads my way
fierce fish with a hot pink vibe or are they more fuchsia?
my imagination in her wildest state
could have never imagined this undiscovered world
a conglomerate of something in lemon and green swishes by

was that a fish? or a bunch of them?
In fascination I await the next sight of beauty; I am not disappointed

Caren, "In fascination I await the next sight of beauty; I am not disappointed" Perfectly beautiful musing, neither was I. -Richard

I loved the little colorful fish near shore at Cozumel.

They are something to see! Colors found no where else except maybe heaven.

This is a fascinating write! You take me there! I grew up in a coastal area..I could imagine vividly your descriptions. Watching them when riding a boat and the water is so clear is such an amazing experience..You are right..more glorious than any painting..a nature’s masterpiece, so to speak!
