The Coast

Looking over the glamorous sunrise,
Walking through the water to get to the boat.
Hearing the engines run until we arrive,
Feeling the very last bit of the summer heat.
As I dive off the boat, I feel the cold water shiver down my spine.
Swimming down in the depths of the water.
My ears about to pop, I swim to the floor.
I feel shadows all around me.
As I look up I see the manta rays surround me.
The dark and light shades of the animals are all I see,
The slow, peaceful movement of the manta ray brushing against me.
As I run out of air, I come back to the surface.
Here I am, the end of summer, back to reality.
