This is my 60th fanfic! And so, one year and 41 days has passed since I started posting fanfics here. Thank you, all my supporters!
The ocean from the point-of-view of a Clamperl, inspired by two pieces of music—Ocean Song and Colours of the Sea. More of descriptive writing than anything else. Enjoy it.
Beneath the Waves
Swirling, whirling
Washes of calm, powerful tide
Shift like the sky above
Except here, the sky is a misted mirror
Everything beyond unseen,
Just a blur, masked by the waves
-
Hold on tight as the currents lift you!
Let the ocean carry you on its arms
Don't care where or why you're going,
Just let freedom guide you
-
Colours, swathes of dappled sunlight
Rippling across the floor
Colours dancing across my face
Giving me a glimpse of the shining heavens
-
Swirling, whirling
Roaring spirits and sprites
Taking on the form of great creatures
Dancing as if the sea were only wind
And them, feathers on the breeze
-
Of course, I cannot swim like them
All day I can only rest on the seabed
And watch as the wonderland unfolds before me
Day by day, by day
-
This is my home—the undersea-wind furling
And sweeping and shimmering
A sunrise taking on a life of its own
Below the tide
-
…
Hold on tight as the currents lift you.
Let the ocean carry you on its arms
Don't care where or why you're going,
Just let freedom guide you.
Freedom…
-
I know I'll get to join them someday,
When I've evolved, and have grace of my own
Just wait a little longer, wait a little longer…
-
Till then, it's all a great show to me
A play in infinite acts, on a thousand stages
A world of fantasy, of soaring and diving
Of swirling and of whirling
Always missed, never seen by the world above.
