The ocean drew me into her waters
It was necessary for me to seek
The coolness and the shelter of
That beautiful refreshing beach
I swam out into her clear waters
Sun shining blissfully down upon me
I was surrounded and enveloped
As the pleasure took my breath away
I was lifted up and cocooned within
Cool caressing precious waves
And I swam to the outer reaches
Of those rocks that followed round
I saw many fish and sea creatures
Various sizes, colourful, many shapes too
Yes it was such a pleasure to swim
Out into that beautiful blue...
The white sands moved below me
Like whirling desert winds it seemed
Yes the sea was full of life: it teemed
I saw a blue crab walking: sideways
Just as sea crabs do: its tiny eyes
Looking upward: as I floated above it: true
I found someone's abandoned yellow goggles
And a purple snorkel further along the way...
I swam out onto Christie's Reef...
Yes I swam further out into the bay...
I looked around as I surfaced...
It was such a pretty sight
I could even see Noarlunga Jetty
Though it was quite far away...
I was gong to keep on going
But danger made me take a second look
There before me were quite as many
Tiny pink-tinged jelly fish...
As I remembered another evening
From many long months ago
When surrounded by pink jelly fish
I was stung repeatedly...
So I turned around and had to go...
