Amongst the rotting wood and disintegrating masts
Of a ship that once conquered the world
Wary sunlight flits through the cracks in the thick lumber
Illuminating the vivid fish that swim through what has become their home
Multi-coloured marine life blends into the azure blue of the ocean
Creating a dappled melange of cobalt and hues of the rainbow
Converting a forgotten wreck to an exquisite habitat
A home to treasures of mankind centuries ago, now a home to treasures of the sea
Vibrant parrotfish, shimmering clownfish, and motionless stonefish
Decorate the various sections of decaying timber
Emerald, jade and lime seaweed sway in the gentle cadence of the deep
A lost vessel proving a haven for marine mammals
Lustrous coral adorn the seabed, ascending gracefully
Greasy octopus slide around the ocean floor, as dazzling starfish pulse patiently
Lobsters crawl along the sun-blanched sand, feeding on other crustaceans and fish
As sea urchins throb threateningly in the corner of the hull
Through the crowded sanctuary
Barracudas dart across the starboard
And eels slink across the tired rudder
Soft rays of light revealing their smooth skin
Barnacles hug the rusting anchor tightly
And jellyfish skulk through the rigging and crumbling mast head
Sharks tearing past the keel and through the bowsprit
Desperate to satisfy their rumbling stomachs
The gargantuan boat lies in quiet solitude
An isolated seclusion for all seeking refuge
The weary bow sighs in contentment
Although abandoned by human masters, happy to find new creatures have found their home.
