The Star Whale
with skin the color of deep space
the body of a seal
with spots that shine like stars
the tusks like a walrus
that glisten like polished steel
the tail like octopus tentacles
changes colors like the aurora borealis
minty green, to lush lavender, to deep pink
it swims with ease through the stars
as if they were majestic crashing waves
passing space ships as if they were tiny fish
the most gentle loving creature
the tales he could tell of other galaxy's
the sights he has seen from the dying stars to the birth of planets
the star whale
the tour guide for the universe
