In the lukewarm ocean
Past the kelp forests
A huge beast lies,
Home to many
The final refuge to many a creature
The beast’s colorful scales shelter the small
A thriving community takes place in its fins
And its brightly colored tail
But
It is slowly dying
Turning ghostly white
When it dies
Many will perish
Fate may be inevitable
But we can help
Slow the dying and make new homes
For the creatures living inside the gentle beast of
Coral
