Scuba Breaths
Thunder roars across in the distance. They are laughing up there. The clouds are playing in their game of rain and clouds. Lukewarm salty water get warm and cold in random threads underwater. I look down and see 70 feet and dark green brown coral muted by the sunlight.

Motor boats creep by above as I look at the shimmering waves of the sun. I am blown away of the effect water can carry sounds waves. I feel as if the same effect that of airplanes ruin the wilderness experience on land as is the same for motor boats run by above me. And the fish still swim by the hundreds.

I look upon the wall above me and see crevices like the ridges of my skin fanned by coral and brain coral and globular communities of fish sticking together with the current. I see light blue speckels of fish down below me like a christmas water bowl and blue confetti shaking. I see microscopic mountain ranges and little blue baby fish eyes hiding behind the tree like coral fanning out five feet. In the distance I see flashes of baracuda five feet in length schooling their own tails round and round and playing follow the leader. I wake up on the bed to find myself still rocking back and forth on the wave. I gaze into the eyes of an old fisherman cataract blue gray eyes from the sea. He is the sea. "Which direction is the current going today?" he asks a local friend fisherman in the water with his line looking for fish. "That way." We started at one spot and drift towards the other.

My breath and bubbles across my ear echoes the sound of my heartbeating when I was born. And I fly some more. « hide more
