warm water washing over our snorkels, eyes wide with wonder
we wander through caves and gaze up at bats
careful not to hit our heads on stalagtites inches above
the water, so warm it washes us gently downstream
through mangrove swamps and out next to dolphins
we emerge from warm water reborn, eyes opened
only to fly in a metal box 40,000 feet off the ground
how unnatural to land in cold and snow a few hours later
with only fond memories of turtles and minnow and more.
