The Night Dive
As we slowly descend in the ocean so deep
I glance up as if grabbing just one last peep
A glimpse of the stars lacing the cloudless sky
A bright full moon keeping my spirits high
Such a strange feeling as the waters rose
As if leaving a life that one so well knows
Entrusting your being to the mercy of the sea
Scared yet determined to unveil the mystery
Engulfed by an aquatic wall so dense
I gripped my torch, focusing its beam intense
As the numbers grew on my shining depth gauge
Was it the end of time or just another page
And then suddenly spotting the ocean bed
I adjust my eyes to see the wonders ahead
An eerie sensation creeps up on me
As if floating in space feeling oh so free
Hovering on the sea floor, I cut off my light
Letting the pitch darkness just seep inside
Feeling strangely relaxed as if still on land
I focus my eyes kneeling down on the sand
And then like magic the world unfolds
As if opening the door to treasures untold
Shimmering like jewels forcing me to surrender
Beautiful life forms from the world down under
Awestruck, and unable to shift my gaze
I stare at the crazy lights in the haze
And I am filled with joy on a dark shadowy night
Having witnessed such a truly magical sight
