Snorkelling Poem by Steve Hancock

Drifting like a Loggerhead turtle
Tranquil waters of aquamarine
Immersed in cool saturation
Liquid heaven of pure hippocrene

Reef mysterious landscapes
Geologic formations of time
Intricate gardens of coral
Ecosystems diverse and sublime

A myriad of tropical alien
Shoals of meandering play
The shifting sands of ocean floor
Frequented by slumbering ray

Scurries of briny crustacean
Seek refuge in makeshift abode
A scuttled shipwreck of decadence
Lies anchored in silent corrode

Through aqueous dappled sunlight
Marauding seaweeds ornate
Coasting like immigrant driftwood
Till my troubles no longer dictate
