My Antartic Ocean Friends and I

My Antarctic Ocean Friends and I

by: Shaffi A. Karimah

The big iceberg stood firmly like a giant fence

The calm sea water makes friend with the shards of ice

The soiled white land of snow adds to the sacredness

The sun hides himself behind the clouds

I'm still fixated in my place,

waiting for something I really look forward to

I looked from a distance

The calm sea water turned into a buzz

My eyes sparkled as if I knew what was going to happen in front of my eyes

I stepped and dipped my feet into the Antarctic Ocean

The water was so warm, I thought

Either this was real or I was being enchanted

The big one came with a song,

and waved to me like an old friend who met again

He came closer and so did I

Then we dive into the ocean together,

and met with the fat, the little, the white, and also the black-and-white

They entered my world and changed my life

They are our life saver
