In Between

In waters twenty fathoms deep
On ancient floor the creatures creep
Just as they've done for eon’s age
Surviving turn of every page

Translucent blues like gemstones gleam
In currents of the ocean stream
Where fish glide with the water’s flow
As forces swiftly move below

On surfaces of sparkling green
Atop the oceans sunlit shean
Above the fathoms lies a bed
That glows at dusk in sunset red

T’is here I float upon a craft
And watch the sea from vessels aft
The wind and water touch my face
And I know well my proper place

Above the sea, the purple sky
Fades into dark as day goes by
A sea of stars then veils  the black
with twinkling lights from eons back

From ocean’s depth to heaven’s height
From sea to sea in moonlit night
A man can only dream a dream
And live in Nature’s in between

One of the best things of science is that it has allowed us to have a view of the ocean's splendors through television....

and this was as wonderful a read as any program I have ever watched....

Liked it a lot, I have a aquarium and I am interested it the sea. You gave me a breif   look,I enjoyed.

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.

This has some of the mystery of the sea in it. Just lovely!
