Love Song
Black and white is what you are,
Your skin is soft and smooth,
Your movements are a charming dance,
I really feel your groove.
When you glide through the ocean,
Weightless, wild and free,
I gasp in awe, in admiration
And maybe even jealousy.
You pass - everybody lets you by -
For you to never hit your fin,
To never have to curl your wings,
Where others end's where you begin.
Your silhouette is graceful,
Triangular, even and sleek,
And from the bottom up
Your smile sneaks a little peak.
You will always be there,
Cruising and swirling around
In the big, blue deep,
What I lost, with you I've found.
A brave, honest companion,
That never leaves your side,
You whisper to be brave:
Don't go away, don't hide.
Your power resonates the sea,
Its glory moves the waves,
They are strong, just like you,
Yet yours's a life that saves.
Never will you ever know,
What you mean to me,
You my friend the manta ray,
Because of you I see.
