Drops of Color/ Beneath the Boardwalk
Drops of Color
Beneath the Boardwalk
The boardwalk beckoned—
instead, I dove below.
Surfacing, I heard the
footsteps overhead,
and suddenly the soft echo
of surf chimed in.
Beneath the boardwalk,
a sort of amphitheater ensued.
The sound played
a soft ballad.
Several sailing vessels passed-by.
A few fish swam at a distance.
They blew bubbles
that rose to the water’s surface.
They dipped down quickly as
a gull ‘sneaked’ in~~~unannounced
—no shadow revealed here.
Slowly, I tread
and came out from beneath
the boardwalk.
The sun was bright
and glided across the unknown
boardwalk of hid-den depths
living below.
