Sea

SEA

Water, very deep to immense depths, no sunlight pierces 
down here – blackness.
Coming to the surface, sunshine sparkles magically, 
a myriad of dancing points of light.

Sea monster curling in the rip tide, powerful muscles 
gracefully propelling him seawards – for food.
Salt water covers so much, two thirds of the globe, all this wetness.

Drown if you breathe it, don’t you dare unless you’re a fool. 
To be a fish, man enjoys the sea, diving, sailing 
or simply watching.
