The World of Silence

…Through the swaying coral groves
Brushing past the stones
And drifting ‘neath the greenest shade of canopies
Casting shadows as we roam
Down among the manta rays
Twirling ‘mongst the bones.
The jellies and anemonies—
Among the shells
And the sunken sands below—
Dance with us on early graves
Call us from the whale.
A pair of ladies hovering and sliding up
From the foot of beds unknown…
