There in the distance, is it friend or foe?

Only time will tell and truth be known

My awkward stature and breathing apparatus

Hardly camouflage my foreign status

Small finned families continue on their merry ways

The subject draws near

Heart and mind gripped with fear

Peril and death are upon me

Yet eyes still saturated with the glory of the sea

Coral reefs, yellow, red, and orange imagery

Sunken treasures, curious creatures, and mysteries of the indigo dark

Magnificent, breathtaking, indescribable

Shark!
