Indigo

-

A breeze sweeps over the sea.

Surging waves hide the view before my eyes.

Faint starlight,

a broken moon,

as if foretelling sorrow.

I am always drifting alone,

drifting far away from the mortal world.

The seawater is cool.

Perhaps only I can endure this desolation.

Beside me,

the waves rise.

In your mind,

do I still look the same?

Starlight falls upon me,

its reflected glow

pointing in your direction.

Seawater strikes my face,

spraying into foam.

With my back to you, I hesitate.

A wall stands between us,

always keeping our hearts from reaching one another.

Perhaps only my fellow fish

can understand my sorrow.

The Heart of the Sea
