I am the slimy, limey seaweed


I am the slimy, limey seaweed
                     flowing so free in the ocean.

Above me I see rainbow fish playing
like ther was no tomorrow.
I hear splishy splashy water.
I feel I can do everything.

Right now the clementine sun is setting above me.
All the water breathers are swimming so swiftly it seems
                  like they are
                     dancing on a wet stage.

Soon the sun will be gone
and the baby blue sky will turn black.
The fish will drift away and fall asleep.
