I have shrugged off the noise and calamity of modern day

                and floated through the depths on bubble-glistening fins.

      onward I have drifted and joined the ebb and flow

                 of wind-driven currents,

                and done a thousand things you would never have dreamed of.

              Dipping and swooping deep in the limpid pools of silent seas,

               Floating�? Drifting�?

                I’ve chased shimmering schools of fish,

     Laughed through coral-carpeted canyons,

               and eased my rubber-covered body through the floorless oceans of blue.

                Deeper and deeper into the bone-chilling depths

                 I’ve descended to the sand covered bottom of the universe,

                with peaceful reserve, where sunshine nor rain have ever danced.

                And�? While with silent questioning mind,

                 I’ve slipped through the blue un-trespassed serenity of the heavenly sea,

                Raised up my face

                and felt the cool embrace of God
