The Coral Reef

Ultraviolet hues in purple skies and the turquoise waves bow in admiration... Here, there are different ones, lives beneath the tranquil waters of a coral reef. A plethora of color burst flora and fauna, secreting itself from prying eyes... Protectorate of the inland's; promoting life in Gaia’s womb. Sadly, the thing it protects the most, land and its dwellers; disregard such majesty; being taken for granted, proof that humans are not by any means, the most, intelligent life.
