Trinity Caves --Pamela Geis Perron (talk) 17:36, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

My eyes surface and I can’t decide whether I am seeing blue or green. Regardless, it is the sparkle from water on the black jagged rocks that has won my attention.

I am still as I take in the salty water beneath me and the rocks above me. The water is crisp at lip level. The clean and clear water swims gently past swaying me to and fro like a warm towel draping over my shoulders.

My eyes wonder up the cavern. I wonder if this could be the passage way to heaven. Its endless magnificence is a certainty.

Briefly I remove my mask as the scent of the cave envelopes me. A fragrance of freshness and history built into one sweet and unique aroma. This is a perfect moment, a perfect place, a perfect time.

My thoughts are as surreal as the caves themselves. The sunlight pierces down through the water at random angles reassuring me that this cave was created naturally over a significant period of time. I succumb to the grandness of it all and let myself go.

A single bird singing out of unison snaps me out of my trance.

Looking down through my diving mask I find a myriad of colorful fish as only nature intended. A green eel slides easily across the sunburst of coral. For some angelic reason he was not afraid of me, nor I of him.

Floating on my back I enjoy the beauty and openness of the cave. I look back once more to take in the view. I close my eyes and imprint a most vivid awe inspiring sight to take with me. I tighten my weight belt and I slowly slip away.--Pamela Geis Perron (talk) 17:36, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
