The Darkness of the Blue
As you prepare yourself for the leap,
Through the air of the ocean-
Into the watery substances of the deep.
Beating its wings to change the weather,
The kingfisher scours around for you-
While drawing itself hither.
As you prepare for your motion upsweep,
Comrades insist you return-
Into the watery substances of the deep.
As the nimble tail does through air slither,
Bracing for the coup de grace-
While drawing itself hither.
As you lead the songster to its bo-peep,
King of all fishers flabbergasted-
While drawing itself hither,
Into the watery substances of the deep.
