Blue Sea Poem by Michele Clucas

Silver rises as all sound fades away
Each breath, marking time’s passage –
Eternity in the clear blue sea!
I slowly drift, deeper into this world
Flashes of colour, the underwater carnival -
Join in never ending indigo
The sharp, crackling sound of living reef
Punctuates the slow in and out of each breath
As I slow, fields of coral enter my world
Waving feathery and soft; standing smooth and hard
Colours from dawn’s red to midnight’s blue
The green of natures coat to mother earth’s rich hue
Soft white sand drifts –
The push and pull of the current guarding its rest
Bright colours of movement in the darkness of a coral crevice;
Life winking at me as it plays in this coral keep.
