The unexplored ocean

I hear the wind whisp past, tickling my icy ears. The waves clasp together like swords in a battle.
I begin to wade in slowly, like a creature checking the water’s warm before drinking from it.
SPLASH! Slippery, sticky seaweed sticks to my left foot.
A colourful school of fish darts through the coral leaving a very long trail of sparkling bubbles EVERYWHERE!
Green sea turtles shine like emeralds in the moonlight as they display a bright green head.
I reach my hand out to feel the smooth shell.
The beautiful turtle looks like something you would see in a dream.
It dances and sways to the songs of a graceful whale.
The whale sings as it magically glides into a deeper part of the ocean.
It is so stunning to see a whale twist and turn like this. I look down at the rough sea bed seeing an outline of a sandy star.
Obviously, I know it’s a starfish camouflaging in with the sand.
As much as I want to feel the squishy guy, I think there are poisonous starfish so I choose to continue my travel.
I voyage to a pitch-black cave, finding a dark rock with an outstanding red crab.
More glistening fish bolt past showing their shimmering scales all over.
It leaves me bamboozled in a large group of bubbles or like a swarm of raging, fiery bees.
I decide to end the story there by swimming back up to the surface.
I pass the red crabs, hidden starfish, and the singing whale, then the emerald green sea turtle and the dashing fish.
I reach the surface and wave goodbye to the ocean. I scavenge for some worthy shells to remember the wonderful journey.
