Ocean Swimmer

Sunbeams coruscate like lilting shiny spotlights

whirling top to bottom beneath the cyan sea

Sunrays scoot along the gullied seabed

like lost and streaking ghosts skirring to be free

The ocean swimmer sees both light and darkness

from shimmering surface down to taupe seafloor

Above that murky sphere of luminescent shadows

my soul ascends with solace above the sandy shore
