Early morning, clouds covered,
lightly raining, sunrise smothered.
Boarded and headed out to sea;
not prepared for what's beneath.
Waves rolled, boat lurched
tank strapped ready I perched.
Then one step flipper first,
right hand on mask left on waist.
Bobbed back up, signal ok;
the scuba experience moments away.
Buddy check, good to go
and discover the world down below.
My eyes opened, time to explore
so much to see colors galore.
Beauty and majesty with rich detail
delicacy and grace from plant to tail.
Fish so unique never seen before
all shapes, sizes, and coats of color they wore.
coral of variety beyond words to describe;
intricate creation as God prescribed.
My eyes lost in vast array
mountain of beauty majestic display.
My mind unable to wrap around,
the life before me so profound.
From the depths to the heights
creation reveals marvelous sights.
To see it all and not believe;
to experience and not perceive...
a God above all powerful
creator, redeemer all wonderful.
Back to the surface from below
no words worthy of the show.
In excitement mixed with reverence,
"God is good," broke the silence.
