Diving

This is a diving board.

Dive

tluasremoS

and SpLaSh

deep

below

the surface

of the blue green ocean;

shattering reflections of the sun; rds

blowing bubbles that float upwa

as

you

dive

deeper;

racing with wild seahorses

through deep sea canyons;

weaving through waving sea grass meadows

and tangled groves of kelp and algae;

chasing after frilly skirted jellyfish

and being chased by a long limbed octopus;

flapping and swooping and soaring with rays;

being tickled by featherstars and prickled by urchins;

gazing upon swirling galaxies of starfish

and swimming midst the notes of humpback sonatas

before heading back up

and dragging your dripping

mind back onto this page,

these words whirling in your memory

like seashells in your hand.
