Stepping into  waters  further into sea

Not at the shore but from the steamer long you go

 First time i the expanse of the deep blue sea to see

With open sky above and water all around

And the care of the world not mine to be

For a moment I was gripped  with fright

Played  in its mighty folds

Happily ebbed up and down

Snorkled in the wonderful world beneath

It worked  up my spirit  and  felt the highs

Circling  in the sea  along the tides

So many of us in numbers moved

Like big  orange red beetles in milkweed green

The evening  Sun flashed its  rays  

Sparkling white crystal in waters blue

Hiding in smoky white clouds it eyed

 Traversing the sky it  lurked on

Shining colour fish ,orange, green and lined

  Some gentle   shimmering moves and shakes

Gently rocking side to side

Cuddled in the lap of the tide

In bright red floats afloat

 Seek to lift  my soul

Enjoying  this wonderful   feel

The heart flutters with joy all the more

A  lively spread  of  this bountiful glare

Miles and miles to stretch  on

Surrendering humbly to its strength

The gentle murmur of the sea so near

To be in waters so sparkling clear

Then to watch the amazing Sun go down

For the mesmerising colours of a tropical sunset

With its richer and rosier hues
