Magic Of The Deep

You jump into the water and start to sink
Soon it is to dark to see anything
It is another world down there
It is peaceful and calming
You wonder what lies beneath the shallows
You look up and see the sun glistening on the water above you
You turn your light on and you look around
A school of fish is near you
But as soon as you disturb the water they swim away
Your oxygen level starts to go down
You race to get to the surface
You get back on the boat and already miss the water
You wonder if you will ever experience that magic again
