Fathom

 Out on the reef
Space to pray
Illusive colored fish
tide sway wave spray

So far from believing
In the coral underneath
Ocean dangers are a scheming
Far from the shore that is reason

The top of it all becomes exposed
Bones and rock emerging from water
Eyes of the deep in number grow
A hunger that demands no quarter

Stranded soon all will be covered
Forced to float on the surface abandoned
Body in part submerged no boat no rudder
Death a thought too deep to fathom
