A Diver's Paradise
Deep within the ocean blue
Another world of beauty lies.
Fauna and flora; every hue
Is captured by a diver's eyes
For each and all his own turf vies.
Darting here and darting there,
A school of angel fish swish by
As swift as fins and tails would dare
With lightning speed they seem to fly
Through their underwater world sky.
Among varied shades of coral
Crabs, and lobsters in peace reside,
Safe from hands that would harm them all.
Creeping, crawling, going inside
A garden where starfish abide.
Anemones of pink and blue
Are peeking in and peeking out
To catch a glimpse, a glimpse of you
A stranger to their world, no doubt
Where sharks move stealthily about.
