Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus

Self Contained Underwater Breathing
Apparatus

I am moving gently forward

over the wild and beautiful

unexplored world below me

I am floating in silence

and breaking it up

with the sound of my breath

Above me there is nothing

but shimmery light

the place where i have come from

and will go back when i am done here

 

I am diving

I am a scuba diver

I am going deeper past

the wrinkled rocks and dark weaweeds

towards a deep blueness where

a school of silver fish wait

As i swim through the water

bubbles burst from me

wobbling like little jelly fish

as they rise

I check my air

i don't have as much time

as i need to see everything

but that is what makes it

so special !
