I sail upon a purple sea
two watery eyes peer up at me
a timid glance into a face
our two worlds' meeting place

one has scales - the other skin
one has arms - the other fins
two nomads pause for conversation
bound for separate destinations
a wooden boat to stay afloat
a compass line within its mind

a gift that's here for just so long
like a friend who's swiftly gone
with a flick of its tail
and so on I sail
alone and free
on a purple sea
