Faerie Song Poem by Zachary Zuccaro

The giant squid hides in a canyon
deep beneath the waves.
A whale swims beneath a ship.
A lobster scurries across the ocean floor,
a jellyfish floats by.
The coral reef glitters beneath sparkling water,
a sea aenome twitches its quills.
A starfish sleeps on the sand,
a shark glides past.


The yacht lowers her topsail
as she sails towards the cliff,
the sea ends at the edge
of the world.

The sailors look
into the great abyss
ready to plunge
into the unknown.


The dove flies from star to star
casting its shadow on every planet.
The black figure consuming comets
its gravity warping perception of time.
A kraken cries out in distress
as a cube rises from the mist.
The creatures merge as one;
one universe splits into two.
All motion ceases, time stops
a reflection upon the mirror.
Sing out your praises,
shout out in solemn joy.
Where are your pretences now?

Light a candle in a room
watch its glow and smokey plume.
It casts its light upon the wall
illuminates the entrance and inner hall.
Listen to the footsteps approach
the time has come to suffer reproach.

A spirit glides effortlessly upon the Earth
its presence disappearing and reappearing.
An incorporeal presence
consciousness without form.
An imagination from Heaven,
an angel from the Lord.
It remains a moment longer
then flickers out.

The faeries dance around the oak
singing their midnight song.
The stars twinkle in the sky
smiling at the celebration below.
A bridge stretches between the canyons
lizards scurry across the rocks,
the sun illuminates the pillars of stone.
Robins chirp in the morning fog
snag worms from the soil.
Penguins waddle across the ice
in the vast expanse of the artic.
Steam rises from a teacup
resting on the kitchen table.
A ripe banana and a turnip,
the moon and a mouse.
Two pepper walk across the Sun,
a rainbow after the storm.
