Ocean Depths: A Shape Poem

Damp sand shifts under our feet
while billowing waves caress the grainy seaside.
The cool of the foaming water contrasts the sweltering sun while
saltwater creatures explore the land and little crabs skitter across the sand.
Descending deeper, away from the shore appears a brand new beautiful world.
Scaled and finned, the creatures swim, their glittering bodies reflecting the surface.
All enemies forgotten, they’re the essence of peace, poise, and a sign of eternal serenity.
There’s a splash of liquid on a mammal’s back as he jumps in sequences of playful display.
He swims shallow briefly for gasps of air before diving down deeper to his underwater home.
Assortments of rainbow coloured fish swim in circles around him, weaving towards open paths.
Refreshing and speckled with sprinkles of salt, lay miles upon miles of blue and open water.
A wild current carries creatures for as long as they please in the place of East Australia.
Ripples within waves, the current keeps on moving towards the final destination
that the creatures have in mind as they swim with the flow of tropical water.
Moving downward even further live the creatures of the deep
with more magnificence glowing upon them, never
seen by those who aren’t willing to look closely.
Rarer and rarer in substance, these
are the most magnificent of
creatures that live in the
true castles of the sea.
Royally abundant, they’re
nearly undiscovered as the
hide within the realms
of regal looking
tropic coral
plants in color.
Striking Is the seaside
valley that resides
within a hidden
universe.
