Mahabodhi Moonlight

night dive

scary jump nervous
black waters threaten
serious scuba
going down

floating depths haunted
bio-luminescence
flitting fins thrill
the ghost waters

our torches raised
shining through bubbles
the skittering surface
comes closer

in just one breath
boundaries breached
a bewilderment of stars
ascending infinity

cosmic expanse
of wonderment
looping above
looming below
