Underwater Poem by Justin Gildow

Swimming alongside of you
Underwater
You're a mermaid
Yet you're a wonder to behold
But I'm glad to know you
I'm glad to be near you

Reaching the surface
You and I take a few moments to look
all around us
As well as take a few deep breaths
After a minute, you softly whisper something
in my ear
I smile brightly at you
And soon after
We plunge ourselves to the watery depths
once again
Going underwater once more
