I could hear the waves crashing above me

as I dove into the deep, dark, sea.

I felt the coral so sharp,

as I saw my hand glazing over it.

There was silence everywhere,

yet at the same time, noise

sounded in all places.

The bright, bold colors of the reefs

allowed the tropical fish to blend in.

I felt cold as I explored around.

Everywhere I look, the colors go on.

The light shining down on me

felt warm on my body.

Some reefs were sharp, some smooth.

Some fish were huge, some undersized.

Some blended in, some stood out with neon colors.

So many varieties of creatures existed.

All the fish swimming around me,

all the blue water surrounding me,

this experience was a day to remember.
