This giant planet

Just a drop in the ocean

Silence, hold your peace

Delicate blossom

Falls from Jacaranda trees

Like purple rain drops

In a sheltered cove

Sea lions soak up the sun

Basking blubber sponge

Cerulean skies

Bleeding into the ocean

Another day dies

We flutter and flap

Around flames that burn our wings

Into the darkness

In innocent eyes

Cold irony is reduced

To empty cliche
