BEDROOM DOME UNDER THE SEA is a wee poem based on a wonderful photo of a real bedroom under a dome in the sea, with the fish overhead as if stars in the ocean as sky....

BEDROOM DOME UNDER THE SEA

Sleeping in this seaweed nest
In this little fishy sea
Underneath this dome of grasses
Waving green so beautifully
Wondering about the silence
In this garden in the gloom
Of the falling night on ocean
In our waving ocean room
Wave me out onto the sands
Then wave me out into the sea
Back and then forth into a sleep
Refreshing you refreshing me
Our breathing is through gills of hope
Each bubble filled with sky so blue
So full of living air and wonder
We can breathe a lifetime through
Are we stars that fell to hissing
In dark waters of this night
Can you hear the clanging engines
Of the ships that give us flight
Are we going back to shore now
Where the dancer's shadows sway
Will you put away this ocean
For another day of play
Sleep now in your seaweed nest
In your little fishy sea
Underneath this dome protecting
From all misfortune, beautifully
