Coral Blues
by Zitin Bhan
Somewhere deep below the blue seas
a coral sings
trapped in the eerie
that a pagan brings
sings of sorrow and peace
for that’s where she is
with everything yet hollow.
rings her trumpet
that from a celestial being she borrowed
to teach her from skies above
distant from her desolate dwelling
he came to alter her arduous living
disarmed her of her stinging cells
so all she could do is sing
and how she sang
on full moon nights
where distant travellers stopped to sigh.
she sang and sang till the stars would shine
while the rest like her continued to dine.
he taught her well
he taught it all
but forgot to teach
how she wasn’t to fall.
He did his job
and leapt into the skies
away from the coral
who forgot to smile
she sang still
for the stars still shine
she sang still
for the others still continue to dine
she sang still
as the sea is still blue
and she sang
for that’s all she knew.
