Calm of Ocean Down

Calm Of Ocean Down Sink down in silent blue becoming gray Floating algae feathery on the wave Sound so soft in their fragility Edge of day comes on with dawn Subtle waves above define horizon Cut a surface to the sky Sinking down on tranquil oceans floor Creatures there fold the bottom silk Cold and lightless life move about in darkness Calm takes them where they will Light grows dim below the ocean Slowly though, with sinking in, the deeper depths No switches there on ocean floor Rules don’t move inhabitants about down there Squid hid in their mud and ink to sleep Dreams wait for them, then, dream a little more Define themselves in creatures of the deep They cannot be seen So sleep a little more Define the power of the silent calm Motions smooth, soft and gentle drift Feathery floating algae up above Are so soft in their fragility Dream on in silent blue Calm the ocean down
