Angels Of The Deep (Poetry)

They’ve traded in their wings for fins
their beauty glows the same
they guard the deepest ocean depths
these keepers of the flame

Protectors of all living things
pet fishes trail along
and every creature in the sea
knows well their angelsong

Few men are ever blessed to see
a fleeting glimpse or hear
those voices so unmatched on earth —
sweet notes so calm and clear

Yet those who do can’t quite forget
sea-magic haunts them all
their hearts re-tuned they listen out
to catch that far-off call

And some leave everything they know
abandon their own race
and scour the oceans — pole to pole
to find love’s perfect face
