Gliding on currents,
the manta's ballet echoes
the abyssal chant.
This image by Sense Atelier from Pixabay captured my eye completely and submerged me in the mystical undersea world I've written about many times on hive in my scuba scribe travel blogs. I have been lucky enough to see a few large eagle rays, but yet to see the illusive manta ray.
I have seen many scuba diving videos of them turning circles over divers in famous dive destinations like the Maldive islands. When you see these majestic ocean giants at play like this it really does look like a dance. There are a million sounds popping and crackling when you dive on a reef, and those are just what can be heard in the human range of frequencies. In this poem I tried to imagine what the Manta might feel to inspire its dance.
These thoughts and memories are what inspired the theme of this Haiku.
Thanks for reading.
