Sea Of Crabs Poem by Rita Pal

It was in days of old that the crabs ruled the world
It was in under the golden sands that they slept by day
It was under a sky of stars that they weaved their magic
It was under the sunsets that they carved their paths.

Paths through the sea bed lined with pearl droplets
Paths that led to the castle of golden treasures
Paths that hovered under the crystal blue waves
Paths that lost your dreams to the ends of the earth

It was in the castle of treasures that the mermaids lived
The crabs clapped their claws when the mermaids tears fell
Tears of magic turned to glittering diamond droplets
Captured by the crabs and stored in their treasure trove

For when all is quiet on the darkened sultry waves
The crabs gathered around the golden treasure trove
To throw a sky full of magical mermaid tears
So it lights up a world of wonder for you and I
