I wonder what it would be like to lie beneath the waves of darkest blue.

I wonder what it would be like to lie

Beneath the waves of darkest blue,

Where all that can be seen with the naked eye

Is a desolate and watery view.

Its calmness lending a few moments of escape

From the drudgery of daily lives,

And the shimmering moon with its changing shape

Lighting the water until daytime arrives.

Beneath the dark swell where marine life plays,

In a garden of colourful weed,

Image via Wikipedia

A wreck or two from faraway days

To their watery graves do concede.

And vivid arrays of fish speed past,

Their colours a sight to behold.

Image via Wikipedia

A seahorse, a dot in an ocean vast

Skims the rocks in the waters so cold.

If I had the chance I would dive down deep

And gaze at the sights in awe.

Watch dolphins as they play and leap

And great sharks with their threatening jaws.

But of such experiences, I can only dream

When I perceive waves of foaming white,

And imagine the antics in the deepest extreme

Of an extraordinary world, hidden from sight.

There are many wonderful things burried beneath the sea. Exploring deep into the sea bed is definitely an enjoyable yet adventurous experience. It\’s not hard to imagine how beautiful the water world…

It is a lovely imaginative poem but nothing would get me under the water, I like to keep my feet on dry land.
