Whale Song

Blue the deep fjordal mirrors lie.
Blue the cloudless skies above.
Blue the song, of the whale's heart.
Gone is all we've known.

White the spray, the foaming breakers fall.
White the cracking icebergs born.
White the plumes, mark the whale's blow.
Gone is all we've known.

For a unicorn's cry,
is all we will hear.
For a unicorn's cry,
sighing on the far side of a tear.
A unicorn's cry.
Gone is all we've known.

Grey the swell, the pitching waves surround.
Grey the brooding skies above.
Grey the shot from the whaler's hull.
Gone is all we've known.

Red the deep fjordal mirrors lie.
Red the cracking icebergs born.
Red the screams, from the whale's hulk.
Gone is all we've known.

Christian Poet This started life as a half written song in 1983 or 1984. I've finally finished it, but can't decide if its a song or a poem.
