The Odes of Three - Songs of Land Sky and Sea: Ode to Deep

by Zixal

Zixal
Blue, blue, blue.
How far must one go
To unlock what cannot be unlocked?

The endless waves, wind, facades of peace,
Masking the grief and the great.
This is my testament to the Deep.


Raw power so great even
We cannot tame it.

Peace so glorious that
We cannot stand it.
Water so abundant that
We cannot live it.

The world so surrounded, so contained,
Yet so expanded by the water.
It abandons the mind, so strong

Yet so kind, we live by it,
Far from it, we live because of it.
Yet still it surpasses us, we simply cannot.

May the creatures that sleep,
The beings that reap,
The world, let it seep to deeper reaches than
We can ever hope to reach. Live beyond us,
Without us, and let us attempt fathom,
Forevermore.

Oh, the unfathomable, landless land of the Deep.
