Sea
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
The deep and profound blue sea
A world unknown
Weightless I float
Silent, yet full of sound
Bubbles escape my lips
As I dive deeper down
My body adapts and adjusts
To the pressure surrounding me
With each stroke of my arms
I move with grace and ease
Gliding through the water
As if I were a merman
My senses alive
Admiring the beauty
Of the coral reefs
And the radiant fish swimming by
All worries fade away
As I am embraced by the sea
Its serenity bringing me peace
And a sense of freedom
Because in the depths
I am a part of something greater
A world unburdened
By earthly constraints
