Jeweled jellyfish–Fluctuating, opulent charms; Crystal opals and shining amber.
They come and go–Opening, closing. Coming and going. Visible and invisible.
Floating away.
Illuminated by the blue that surrounds, growing cloudy; They’re pierced by a white spotlight.
Warm and dazzling, they swish and slide in the caliginous aquarium,
Living a quiet life; Floating in the glass exhibit of the overhead vivarium.
Rainbow-colored schools of fish–Chasing, gilded trinkets; Honey peridot and golden citrine.
They dart and swirl–Flickering and scattering. Weaving and rising. Glistening.
Swimming away.
Illuminated by the white that surrounds, glowing softly; Bubbles rise like miniature diamonds.
Bright and mesmerizing, the tropical fish glide in the bustling aquarium,
Living a simple life; Curling in the glass exhibit of the bubbling vivarium.
Moonlit stingrays–Hazy, luxe pendants; Black sapphire and freshwater pearls.
They rise and fall–Flying and sweeping. Flaring and rippling. Propelling and navigating. Spiraling away.
Illuminated by the indigo that surrounds, sweeping gracefully; Undulating like a delicate wing.
Elegant and riveting, they showcase their silhouette in the shimmering aquarium,
Living a serene life; Fleeting in the glass exhibit of the dream-like vivarium.
Celestial whales–Striking, glamorous baubles; Bright silver and alluring tanzanite.
They wander and enchant—Singing and soaring. Breaching and diving. Echoing.
Traversing away.
Illuminated by the twilight that surrounds, vocalizing hauntingly; Their calls create tiny ripples.
Grand and colossal, they resonate with the depths of the grand aquarium,
Living a majestic life; Roaming in the glass exhibit of the endless vivarium.
Ethereal creatures–A flawless, vivacious treasure box; Precious gemstones sealed away.
Seen as living the perfect life. Without stress and woe, prettily swaying in the waters.
Yet they are locked and taken away–Left empty and cold. Separated from home, the sea.
Longing.
Drifting away.
Captive and alone, beautiful, yet without the beauty to be free, stuck in the enclosed aquarium,
Living a secluded life; Trapped in the glass exhibit of the secluded vivarium.
