Green Sea Turtle

A green sea turtle hovers elegantly above the tangled seaweed 

under the shimmering surface of the glittering reef 

I watch eagerly from the peak of a rock

I see it scavenging through the blooming coral 

And floating gently through the colourful plant life

As the the wind howls it combs through my wild hair

I bend down to feel the water's current 

Pushing my hand towards the sandy shore

As a breath of fresh air fills my lungs

Again, I see the turtle slowly gliding into the distance.
