Under the Waves

Earth: a unique gem

Of aquamarine hues

Of green, white and blue,

Suspended in the hollow

Expanse of space,

Where silence echoes.

Under the waves,

Under the watery skin,

Is a world

Inside a world;

Depths of abundant life

Diverse and mysterious.

Fragile and precarious,

Precious.

On the surface

Oceans that wash

And float

And ebb

And flow

Harbouring

The creatures

That dwell

Below.
