BENEATH THE SEA

Beneath the surface of the sea
there lies a world of fantasy.
A place so different from the land,
a world unspoiled by human hand.
Amid the shallows of the deep
countless creatures crawl and creep,
along the sandy ocean floor
among the corals near the shore.
Fishes yellow, blue and green,
black and red are often seen
swimming in the coral reef,
beautiful beyond belief.
Further out beyond the bay
swims the giant manta ray.
Swordfish, sharks and turtles too
share the waters of the blue.
It’s there we see the giant whales
slapping the water with their tails,
and schools of dolphins leap and play
in the salty ocean spray.
