One-eyed Sea Monster: By FireflyMage

Along, along the sea,

Crossed alone,

A one eyed being,

 The sea stilled like a mirror,

Underneath its one eyed glare

 Its feet only touched the surface,

It crossed with hazy purpose

 Fish gathered in a circle,

Around it, around they go.

 No storm remains in it trail,

Not even behind its swirly tail

 Once I was blessed by its sight,

One night when our town had such a fright

 Come, come we pleaded,

For the one-eyed being we needed

 Then came the being,

If it headed out calls, we could not gleam

 It turned its gaze upon our town,

And stilled the storms in which we nearly drowned

 Then away it went,

It and its circle of fish out adrift

 As the sun started to rise,

I swear I saw its eye

 With tears it cried,

With fear I spied,

 Waving farewell,

The one-eyed being fell

 It fell into the sea,

It’s single eye glistening,

 Where did it go?

Will I ever know?

 The one eyed-being that calmed the sea,

From then on out was never seen
