Home on the Reef

I almost didn’t notice this quiet, serene moment hidden among the bustle of the reef. The water is alive with the movement of schools of fish darting in every direction. But then, tucked in the shadows, I spotted this green sea turtle, still, peaceful, nestled within the coral, like it had found its own secret world. I hovered, careful not to disturb the fragile scene, as the turtle rested, its eyes half-lidded in tranquil silence. Behind it, a shimmering school of fish swirled effortlessly, unaware of the stillness that enveloped the turtle. It felt like time had slowed, the chaos of the reef momentarily fading away into a perfect moment of harmony.
