Sunset

Diving for a living, as the world turns away
Swallowed by the deep, find the breath in the fish,
The strident blue, swimming across the ocean of life
Matsya avatar, a symbol of evolution, predating Darwin
The legend handed down from one generation to the next
Sacred to some and recorded in the Vedas for the world to imbibe
That knowledge of the ancients, streaking wild in our technological age
The blue of the seas, covering most of planet earth, the depths a mystery
Uncovered in stages, opening pages of wisdom from a mere aquatic being.
