The dark/light contrast of seaward nature…
& all of its quirky nomenclature.
Buoy, poop-deck, starboard, jib & seamen.
Unmapped waters of dragons & demons.
In pressurized pitch of deepest water…
Delicates lilt; immune to depth’s slaughter.
Nearer the surface, life is warmed everyday.
Fins cresting, jumping, in boat racing play.
New continents of plastic formed by gyres.
Seabirds nest in green sprouts of mobile mires.
From top to bottom the sea’s a wonder.
Most of Earth’s life is thriving down under.
