Pale Moon

Pale moon lights up the night sea surfaces To smile wide on the horizon shimmering with the waves Takes a drink then sinks ten thousand leagues Down with the giant white whale who becomes minute Consumed by the world wide oceans blue Depths that crush the soul of soldiers lost in history By bygone wars that leave their remains beneath the waves Spread out like so much ocean matter graves Pale moon light penetrates that under world Where colors become deformed, fractured dim Twisting with the neon squid in a labyrinthine-in swim Around the sea bed rocks hidden in murky gray They pray for any kind of light to see the truth Pale moon comes through
