Blue Leviathan

Blue Leviathan Sounding the bathymetric deep Lazuline green to waters risen Of sonic dark sung Cetacea poetry With ever knowing smiles The gargantuan glides Graceful on angel winged flukes Slow easy speed Of winded massive lungs Hits the surfacing Blown by fountainhead spouts Breaching upon the waves Two hundred tones of aquamarine Poised and ready Driven to fly the salt-water medium Lifting from the brine light domain Performs a pirouette Crashing leviathan In a centuries ballet Antediluvian epitome of natures Balanced perfection Sings a song haunted melody Traversing oceans Beyond the deepest knowing of land The plummet and plumb line Of fathoms Still skirts a coral reef And basks in shallows Quiet phantom Of the giant blue

Colin, I would agree with Christie that there is deeper meaning lying between lines. I want to eat this poem for lunch abd digest it well. On the surface it is lovely about the ancient creature. I watch whales off Hawaii and thrill to see one breach or leave just a tip of tail to wave goodbye. Charming, poem ,but more is here to savor. You do possess an extraordinary and gifted mind,as Christie said. It might be fun to take a long walk through the garden of your muse. aloha, Koko
