Matthew Brackley Poet Ballad

The Reef

The unceasing roar 
Surf and coral, 
hitting the shore 

This underwater show 
This blaze of colour, 
roar of surf.... so 

Coral reef home, 
so many fish, 
blue sea foam, 
this is my wish............ 

This living  breathing reef, 
surrounded by sea so blue 
Living breathing jewel, 
you want to be it too 

Crashing of sea, 
exploding white foam 
I want this to be my home 
Mighty blue sea 
This reef........ 
exploding foam 

Rush of water, 
through the coral 
Small fish dart 
Multicoloured streaks, 
natures' freaks 

This roar of colour, 
sealed in blue 
Deep down, 
Neptunes' crown 

This surf of white, 
hitting golden sand 
Sun,so bright 
This colour ,you understand 
Sealed in blue, 
rich too.......... 

Rhythmic roar 
The colour you saw 
Living breathing reef, 
underwater leaf 

This moving swell, 
coral reef does dwell 
Sealed in sea of blue, 
underwater paradise 
Dive with me too 

This brief escape, 
weightless in coral sea 
This magnificent waterscape, 
brilliant green  underwater leaf 
that is part of............... 
The reef 

Electric blue fish dart about 
other creatures, 
their colour does shout 
Ceasless flow, 
upon this reef 
Coral sea, 
let us go below 
for, we love it so 

Pink and green, 
purple and red 
the brightest you have ever seen 
blue and yellow 
where have you been? 

This reef encircles me, 
crown of coral 
Sealed by blue sea 
Here lies the moral, 
Neptunes' son...... you see 
natures' son doesn't quarrel
