Pearls

I awake in the deep, strands of seaweed in my hair.
A salty lick in my mouth, but I couldn't be happier.
I thrust my arms out, deep breaths, not a worry or care.
Bubbles burst from me, tickling my face as they pass.
The coral glistens and glimmers around me, I try not to step while the tide pulls.
Luna's out with a breeze of "Hello" and stars twinkle like rainbow fish.
I swim further out, joining more colors traveling in schools.
Something catching my eye and I dive down to a white wonder.
Dolphins come up and I dive down, more and more.
Thousands are waiting just for me in shells open and closed.
I make a necklace over my bare, and again I swim, never touching the shore.
