I AM A SCUBA DIVER

I'm moving gently forward into the deep unexplored ocean below I'm floating in
silence and breaking it up with the sound of my breath, above me there's nothing but
shimmering light the place where I come from and will go back to when I'm done here,
I'm diving I'm a scuba diver
I'm going deeper past the wrinkled rocks and dark seaweed into a deep blue where a school
of purple fish pass me, as I swim through the water bubbles burst out of my mouth
wobbling like little jelly fish as they
rise, whilst I glide along the ocean floor,
I look through my goggles listening to the sound of waves crashing on the shores I check my air I don't have as much time as I need to see everything that is what makes it
special.
