Not much to do with diving, but plenty to do with the sea…
Bitter Sea,
of green froth spume,
Brimming, breaking, roaring,
yet in my soul,
I love you!
Now calm sea,
Kissing, waving, lapping,
Turning and washing
Blue pebbles on the shore
Still I love you
Why do my thoughts
mingle with
The curling, waving wand
of your magic spell
That makes me part of you
