The Turquoise Garden

The Turquoise Garden

I dream of a magical garden
 That lays beneath a turquoise sea
It’s filled with seashells and cockles
And  sand the color of honeybees

The coral is the shade of pink  roses
 The grass is emerald green
Rocks and sea urchins cover the floor
The shy octopus is unseen

It’s home to fish in orange clown suits
Angels without their harps 
trumpetfish without their trumpets
 And lions without their manes

The seahorses and sea dragons
join the jellyfish and shrimp
In games of tag and hide and seek
In  the tunnels of  secret caves

Pretty mermaids with their tails of gold
and locks of crimson red
Gather delicate  pearls they find
In the garden’s oyster beds

It’s a magical place that I dream of
Filled with the creatures of the deep
And I hope someday I’ll find my way 
To the garden in the turquoise sea
