Analysis of Seabeam



The lights of the ocean were hidden
Leagues below our breath
They are precious visions
With terrifying and fantasic mystery
But we beam dolphin lights from fireflies
Evolved from the sea? Possibly
Do plants glow?
We have the sun yet we invented electric lights. Was the entire sun not good enough for us?
Heat was necessary. Candles cause fires.
I get it.
Do you?
Necessity. Hording necessity?
Choices can be that difficult.
What do you choose?
Why do you get out of bed?
Because you're evolved.
But do you appreciate the sun on cold days.
