In
the deep end of the ocean
when
natural born divers
swim
gracefully, among the
school
of fish, the barracudas,
and
other creatures in a
vast
body of a deep blue sea;
only
goggles as their apparatus
to
explore the finest haven
or
empire that few can only see
They
hold their breath,
crawling
like an eel, to catch
a glimpse
of an underwater sanctuary
peculiar
colors of fish flash
to
the sight, jellies as lanterns,
corals
as grotto of tiny school,
seahorses
robe the majestic kingdom
Beneath
the endless basin,
a
fortune of ornaments and splendor
amaze
divers,
and
like fish, they are bestowed with
gills
to breath underwater,
the
mermen and guardians
of
creatures of the abyss
So
when divers exhale
no way
the whale splash their breath,
is
like an astonishing relieve
to
glance once more
the
dome of the earth,
heedless,
the clear skies
ready
to clasp them in
their
resurrection,
and
all the while they inhale
oxygen
then
the underwater
guzzle
them again
to
see more of the power
down,
down, down…
