Beneath Blue Ocean Still Poem by Josh Alfred

The water vapor rises
Over the blue ocean tone
Where surface still like silence
Covers all of the unknown.

Beneath is mystery
Mermaids and fish swim.
A portal of fantasy
Where stories begin

Darting dolphins, talking sharks,
Sea-horses dance all around.
Red glow fish zip and twirl by.
U-boat awakes from ocean ground.

Under-water cities bustle.
A fish dares to leap to shore.
Whirl-pools confuse schools of fish.
Serpents rest on ocean floor.

The illuminated waters
The rainbow speckled scales
Jaws of hungry predators
Squirmy blue electric eels.

Above rippling surface
Nets catch all of the pretend
Back to the blue ocean still
Mystic vapors there ascends.
