Cliffs of dying coral affronted me as I slipped to the depth, my heart wept for the inspiring sight it once was. What it has become is a paragon to man's destruction. I look for something beautiful. A painter sat cross-legged on the white sandy bed, his canvas weighted down, the weights accompanied by two mischievous ***** as he cast his oil paint to the page using his hands. A masterpiece, to paint the ocean's belly from the inside. 'That's true beauty,' I mouth, watching the silver bubbles escape from me with my dwindling oxygen.

Beneath the blue
Cliffs of dying coral affronted me as I slipped to the depth, my heart wept for the inspiring sight it once was. What it has become is a paragon to man's destruction. I look for something beautiful. A painter sat cross-legged on the white sandy bed, his canvas weighted down, the weights accompanied by two mischievous ***** as he cast his oil paint to the page using his hands. A masterpiece, to paint the ocean's belly from the inside. 'That's true beauty,' I mouth, watching the silver bubbles escape from me with my dwindling oxygen.
