Armada of Coral

 Deepest fathoms of Caribbean sapphire
 Reveal a diver's paradise off the Spanish main
 Littered by jolly buccaneer shipwreck
 That dusted the murky bottom to shine.
 With mass of color that burned the eye
 To tye-dye gunwales covered by sea garden,
 Where glass fish meandered through cabins
 That light had forsaken to the abyss.
 The divers swam through that lost city
 Mesmerized by the broken landscape
 Supporting new life, miniature biomes
 Consecrated from wood and bone,
 A buried treasure of human remains
 For the sea to claim as its own.
 She was reborn there in the calm
 Undulating currents of the manta rays
 Summoning the graveyard into a nursery,
 Hoping that someday, once her time is done,
 That she could complete the circle of life
 By ending it there, by becoming a reef.
