Beneath the Surface

Have you swam the forests under the seas glided it's waters wandered it's keys watched the gray giants and albino squid attached to kelp leaves sharks eggs were hid Clouded by algae just being born followed the whales rounding Cape Horn watching up rivers salmon schools run fur seals cartwheeling under the sun soft twinning corals swaying like trees waving their branches as if in breeze Fingers of hydra grasping their meals under sea ferns unrolling their reels the cuddlefish hug the limbs of it's mate a new generation they're about to create wondering wherever your wonder has gone wondering how species can gender our song a manatee grazes upon the sea grass beneath the boats ocean swarms underpass in every color every rainbow and hue daily inquiry into what do they do so graceful like ballerinas they play wandering it's reaches by night and day the nudibranches scaling their hills Lobsters saluting and razorfish drills swimming the whirlpools with shapely tails jackass penguins and jellies with sails predict the movements of the Blue whales picture the angels sacheting their trails shimmering glitters sparkling the sands finwalkers walking as if they had hands leatherback babies skimming the tides upon water fountains the sea urchin's slides a red emperor ruling the the strays roving the shoals edging the bays basket stars wrapping themselves in embrace the straights and fjords where sea otters race pipefishes drifting the eels in their caves upon the reef floors fish dancing their raves shoveling and building with undersea tools the Jacks and Jills swimming to schools tubeworms array upon hot water vents where clownfish play anemone tents surfing the currents and ocean spray moving so swiftly they're off and away composed of armies marching the streams sea mountain passages and sub...marine dreams within the reef beds creches do sleep in seaweed meadows lives in the deep Marlins found herding sardines and smelt it's all the playground sea lives have been dealt life's exhibition an endless parade so many wonders radiantly displayed PoetryofProvidence C Michael Miller COPYRIGHT © 2015
