Carrying dark secrets across every bridge
I hide them under rocks

in gentle breaths as light as air
they drift in freedom as they stray
adventurous without a care

In the ever changing
Blues and greens of the ocean,
Darting soundlessly, weightlessly
From pink coral to white
Among the waving sea creatures
Amidst iridescent fish
