042211v Discovering Below Surface Poem by Manonton Dalan

opening your eyes underwater
something wonderful you should
if you have goggles, great to see
curious fish come to greet you
deeper areas maybe bigger ones
get a buddy to swim with plus spear

waist deep, shells; small fish paradise
i watch an open clam spit debris, sand
colorful fins darting past my eyepiece
moss covered rocks, beneath my feet
i am a visitor to their domain, i respect
leave them where they are for somebody

***
do not do this without proper
instruction or training from
qualified instructor...be safe
no second chance after death.
