The Singing Shell

As beatuful as an angel, as colourful as a rainbow.
She twirls and swirls in the powerful current,
Letting it push her past the colour bursting coral reef.
She sings and dances, putting on a show for her sea creature friends.
A meditator, resting peacfully on the shore of the beach.
She swiftly swerves in between busy octopi and hungry sharks,
Playing with the water as she goes.
It hums a harmony heartily, helping her fish friends fall asleep.
A bumpy rock, she is a statue.
As cheaky as a child, as mature as an adult.
WOOSH and SPLASH, happily by, cheering HOORAY!
A ballerina delicately and gracefully twirling and swirling in the deep dark blue.
As wise as an owl, gliding from sand dune to sand dune.
As sneaky as a spy, hiding behind rocks as she tiptoes past hunting swordfish and leaping, laughing dolphins.
The shell is unique, and being different is good
