…SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT…

THE WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A WARNING

THINK OF THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD SHOWN AS IN A DIAGRAM IN AN OLD ENCYCLOPEDIA

THE LAYERS OF THE EARTH’S CRUST, THE WATERS, THE SECRET LAKES

THE HOLLOW PLACES, THE COILED SERPENTS, THE UNDERCURRENT, THE MUSHROOMS ON THE ROCK WALLS

THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH

JOURNEY THROUGH THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD, OUT INTO THE SUNLIGHT

*SEAS…SWELL BENEATH THE EARTH, THE SMALL CRAFTS IN THE CAVES LIGHT THEIR LANTERNS AND TAKE THE UNDERWATER LOCKS WITH CARE

*THE DIM EYES OF LONG PALE FISHES GLEAM IN THE DEPTHS

*THE LIGHTS…COME ON AS WE REACH THE SURFACE, THE SUMMER NIGHTS ARE STILL, WE HAVE DAYS OF WARM LEFT TO GO
