vairy whale
said the fish to the sea
the sea opened her arms
she welcomed the wee one
scary mother you are sometimes
but i don’t intend to be here very long
this is but a fleeting visit
inspired by the man behind the dark side of the moon
that man he sits on the edge with his fishing rod
forlornly
and wishes for an evening star
it comes and twinkles at him
it says vairy whale
why don’t you visit the sea sometime
she seems to long for you
the man looked at the star
a glimmer of recognition shone in his weather-beaten eyes
vairy whale he said
its time i left this land anyway
the man jumped off the moon into the waiting arms of the sea
the world heaved a sigh of relief
the splash that occurred echoed in the corridors of the universe
reverberated across the galaxies
whoooosh it went till every denizen on every planet
felt the same desire
as the man who used to sit behind the dark side of the moon

uff.. took me a whale to get it. tis vairy dark. especially, 'the world heaved a sigh of relief'. what inspired this?
Really enjoyed reading this!
Contrary to Mr. Bojangles, I felt this to be on a positive note. On the the lines of letting go and moving on!
Weary Whale written indeed :)
