Serene
black and green suspended here in this sublime saline
fins float back and forth, stealthy propellers
heads bobbing just barely above the Pacific’s serenely surging surface
Quiet and calm
moving with Aloha graceful ease
This is their home.
Mahalo
I am only passing through
grateful to catch a glimpse of what lies beneath
What a cool experience! Loved the alliteration in the lines! Sounds like a great time.

Is this Akumal or Tulum? Oh no.. there’s my clue Mahalo – Hawaii. Snorkeling is like entering another world and you described it so perfectly.
