A vivid picture of a vibrant underwater ecosystem, blending sensory details of emerald eelgrass, filtering tides, and sunlit glass with the sudden, dynamic movement of life on the seafloor.
Beneath the rippled, sunlit glass, I rest among the eelgrass blades, A shadowed world where currents pass Through quiet, emerald-tinted glades. A gentle pulse draws in the tide, Through open folds, the feast is spun; I sift the sea where currents glide, And take the bounty of the sun. A sudden rush—a snapping spark— I lift and dance upon the floor, And vanish swiftly in the dark To settle on the sandy shore. Here, safe within my textured walls, Away from cruising shadow’s eye, Where peace defines the quiet halls, The rushing world may wander by. Adorned in ribbed and fluted grace, Where painted bands of pink align With lavender across my face, The ocean's quiet masterpiece— A living scallop...resting.
