In the shallows I am quick and bright, a flash, a dart of silver in the warm blue of the sun’s diffusion.
In the dark depths and alone, I am echoes in a storm, a careful wave, dangerous, mysterious in the shadows of beginnings and ends.
The ocean calls its song, deadly to the foolish, tender for the brave, who drown in the green allure of my kiss.
