Lively Reef

I gently paddle out to this lively reef
Saltwater splashes in my eyes
Dolphins silently splash in the deep sapphire waters
Fishes play in the slimy seaweed beds
Water as refreshing as a cold ice block on a sweltering day
I calmly swim over to the coral beds
Stingrays like spies on the ocean floor
Sharks race the cliff
Whales dancing around like big ballet dancers
Waves are thrashing around like thunder
I am all alone
Silence
All worries are lost. Peace is found
I am one with the ocean
The reef is my home
As I leave the lively reef
Saltwater splashes in my eyes
The sea waves goodbye as it waits for my return
