We Are All Pearls In the Dark Sea

We are all identical pearls in the turbulent sea
The gracious sun may make some shine brighter than others
But this shimmering brightness is not from ourselves alone
But also through the light and life of the gracious son

We are dependent on others for our lives as well
Not just our clams that raised and nurtured us within their shells
But also those who makes our food and seaweed clothes
We all pearls that make this sea shine a little brighter

Pearls should not say the light is theirs alone
Or announce “I shine more brightly than you”
But rather the light belongs to me and you
We are all potential stars that could shine in this dark sea

Lest we all be consumed by the lion-headed serpent
The giant moray eel that swims in these waters of chaos

Starfish-

'Starfish!' said I, 'thing of a moray eel.'
Be it black ocean space;
Or in the breathing coral seas;

Back into my memories squiding;
To warn me about the sea turtle;
The cetacean coral reef crabbing;
Sharks and piranhas kidnapping;

I heard a tentacled, seagoing inking;
I wrote a story with the octopus pen;
I was a harbour porpoise and you a tuna sandwich;
The brokered bottlenose whale blossoming;

The sphinx moth singeing;
Only this and a sturgeon;
In there stepped a shovel nose 'whale shark';
In there stepped a 'lake trout.';
Dolphins lookout;

To warn me about the bluefin;
The foul flatfish forging;
All my soul within me gorging;
In there stepped a coral sea cucumber;

I have dreamed of the spadefish;
An echo murmured back the word, 'channel catfish!'; 
The brook trout smiled;
I felt compelled to sniff the squid;
Smells like fish;

It was squish;
Take thy bluegill from out my heart;

Embrace the wish;
Starfish

Thats a Moray

[An offering for fans of Dean Martin... or not. More or
less to the tune of ‘That’s Amore’ (not the ‘In Napoli’ bit),
this is the cleaned up version of an unprintable original.
In UK ‘Old Fellow’ is a euphemism for... let’s just call it
man’s best friend.]
                                         ***


Big long fish in the sea
Eight foot long and wriggly
That's a Moray
Well I pooped in my trunks
It was biting off chunks
That's a Moray

First it bit my thing
My ding a ling a ling
People on the scene
Heard me bellow
This big fish just bit me
And it swam away with my old fellow

Then I heard someone squeal
That big fish was an eel
That's a Moray
Then they bought me a skirt
To conceal where I hurt
Fair enough

Well, I gave it a whirl
Living life as a girl
But no more, eh?
’Cause I went down the pub
For a flirt and some grub
That’s amore

See , this bloke wandered by
With that look in his eye
That’s amore
He said hey babe what’s yours
Slipped his hand down my drawers
That’s amore?

But he felt quite a chump
As he fondled my stump
End of soirée 
Had a tear in my eye
At his hasty bye bye
That’s amore 

I learned electronics
Made some bionic bits
That’s amore
Ladies squeal with delight
When I ‘stay up’ all night
They’re in love

And they all ask of me
Is that whole thing for me
That’s...
A Moray
But I’ll write nothing more
As I think this has gone...
...Far enough.
