The Heart of the Sea

A beach
Lies silent in the deep of the night.
The only sound is of the crashing waves.
If you listen well, you might hear the scuttle of crabs.
Moving into their sand burrows.
Deep below the sunlight zone, a fish is resurrected into a meal.
There is a manta ray in the Ningaloo Reef, undulating with divers.
A shipwreck lies, hidden in a trench.
Filled with coral and gold, a new reef is born.
