The Reef

The water glistens above my head

I see tonnes of blue and green

As a wave pours down over me

I wonder if I’ll ever go back 

I feel the water run over me

Like the wind blowing onto my face on a windy day

I witness the colour of the coral

Like neon lights shining in a dark room

The waves crashing down on the water's surface

Like glass breaking on the floor 

Making a current, slowly pulling me down

A sea turtle slowly glides past

Can I go home now?

I question her

Do you think you're ready to leave?

Replied the turtle

I regretfully swam back to the shore

The water glistens above my head

I see tonnes of blue and green

As a wave pours down over me
