An Ocean

find blue summer in the undulating fans of the kelp forests’ kelly green swirl aquamarine waters lemon tangs and silvery blue angelfish dart, dive disappear in a cloud of color near fluffy white sand bottom the jet black stingray floats like a kite ripples ruffles flips and fusses stops abruptly to let the sand grains settle over wings burying all but two round pearly black eyes ever observant en garde sunny red and vivid yellow clownfish mingle kiss and swish within the caressing tentacles of the purple sea anemones their symbiosis on display lit by golden shafts of sunlight stabbing thirty and forty feet angled through the feathery kelp limbs amber seahorses buck and rock with the ocean waves and currents of deeper cooler waters flowing like underwater rivers through the warm buoyant waters of the colorful kelp Corals in colors carefully chosen by Poseidon for their elements of smiles, giggles and warm hardy laughter sea cucumbers decorate the sands surrounding the bases of the kelp as they reach stretching up to 300 feet to the tossed gyrus and sulcus of the ocean sea foam surface
