The sea, a
vast and magical place full
of endless wonders and delights.
And in the midst
of this there was a
young man.
A young
fisherman
to be exact.
With blue eyes that
sparkled with secrets
and pondering tales
and an edge of ferociousness
to tie his adventures together.
He spoke of creatures that
no one
had heard of.
Whispered of places
far far away.
Stories of fish that l e a p e d
over the sky.
Of turtles that swam on
currents of flowers.
And dolphins that walked
alongside the sun
He had endless accounts of animals he had
drawn from the depths of the ocean.
No beast in the waters he could not capture.
He brought none home.
They belonged where they existed, he said.
But one day
he
vanished.
never seen again.
A new ember shone bright among the stars that night.
