The whale road lost a beast today
His song again to never play
And floating down an ocean vein
He hits the ground and starts decay
For Sunlight’s loss is Bathyal’s gain
A gift that sinks from Heaven’s plane
And from the biomass they creep
To feast on (worship) savior slain
The denizens of ocean deep
Rejoice, where shallow fishes weep
This gentle giant will provide
A harvest for abyssal reap
Once scavengers their trade have plied
And opportunists get inside
The neighborhood will gain a reef
From barest bone and holy hide
A scene of ocean leitmotif
As loss goes hand in hand with grief
In death the whale provides relief
In death, the whale provides relief.
#my writing#whale fall#my poetry#original work#feeling inspired by whale fall#those organisms have never experienced a live whale#so what must they think of whale fall?#oh! a gift from our drowned and abyssal gods! abundance! shelter! we feast!#what myths would spin from the slow descent of a giant creature of the sunlight zone#whose only purpose seems to be to feed the local ecosystem?#or is the WHALE the god to these creatures#who sacrifices himself for his people?
