The Mystical Shadow
Standing under the whale,
holding his eyes shut
hoping for it to come alive;
the little boy slowly opens his eyes,
for the whale is loose.
Searching for the whale,
seeing it swim in circles,
hearing it sing with soul;
the fish gather under the mystical shadow,
for the whale is loose.
Singing as if it were putting on a show,
dancing through the sea,
daring to dive down;
the adventure of a lifetime,
for the whale is loose.
Sitting for a moment,
slowing his pace,
moving toward the strings;
the fish swim up to the ceiling,
for the whale is loose.
Settling in for the night,
standing under the whale,
wondering if others saw what he saw;
he looks at the whale on the strings,
for the whale was loose.
