Walking the Ocean Floor

By Colin Campbell, 11

Treading through deep water depths.

Walking on hard sand

Being crushed by the waters weight.

As I turn to a crushed tin can.

Talking, but only air escapes,

As it so desperately makes its way to

The water's surface.

Yet I have no air to float as well.

Looking up at the slightly bright water,

Standing on the pitch black floor,

Only light shines around me

An aura to keep the creatures away.
