WATERWORLD

If you're tired of this world
And searching for something new
If you want to get away
I know just the place for you.

There's a very special world
That abounds with mystery
It's a place that few men know
Down in the depths of the sea.

Just get a mask and snorkel
And some swim fins for your feet
And look below the surface
Then get ready for a treat.

The beauty will astound you
And the quiet is unreal
And it's so hard to describe
How good it can make you feel.

There's fish and plants and creatures
Of most every shape and size
There are some things so different
That you won't believe your eyes.

A lot can go unnoticed
If you fail to look real close
There are some things that open up
Like a swiftly blooming rose.

At times you think there's nothing
But the bubbles you watch rise
But don't let yourself be fooled
For you're watched by wary eyes.

Don't take the sea for granted
Or the dangers lurking there
Don't worry -- but be cautious
'Cause at times She doesn't care.

You don't know what you're missing
'Til you've gone under and looked
For most -- after the first time
They will find that they are hooked.

You'll find that you'll hate to leave
Return to the world's strife
You'll wish that you could stay there
And just live a fishes life!

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~S~

Abe, this is a very beautiful poem.
I'm bumping it back to the top so maybe more
people will see it.

This is a full description of being a water person, electromagnetics pulling you to the bounty of the sea...it is an adiction of sorts, but more then that, a great wonder of peace.

Lovely, and a poem after my own heart. Thank you

Cool kinda reminded last time I went to blackpool and went paddling in the sea. I like it

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?
