Ogie

Peaceful serenity cascades over his sleek translucent body

Descending the baptismal mystic stairs to a murky heaven

Gracefully he cuts through this proverbial abyss,

towards the familiar swaying dance of the inviting kelp

Deep unexplored caves and twisting caverns shelter and protect our beast

Winding endlessly under the city, he lives undetected and undisturbed

The bottomless sands a blanket of guarded safety

Occasionally the kaleidoscope of colors from above, call to him

The surface is broken

Providing timeless legends, curiosity and tributes

Stories passed from generation to generation

Theories of science

Sightings of hope

But Ogie always eludes those 2 legged mammals

Unaware of his spectacle, he returns home

A tale for future followers

Today's living fantasy
