Life, Electric

There’s a world of life down there

Where even the Sun fears to tread

Angels glow in the dark

Vibrant streaks of orange and blue

They float aimlessly yet gracefully

Like a balloon caught in the wind

Venturing across those cosmic depths

Their life electric

Their home the deep blue

I'm supposed to include something about myself here, but something tells me you didn't come here for that. 

My poem, though, is about jellyfish. Jellyfish are friggin' cool. They just float around without a care in the world, stinging anyone and anything that even dares to interrupt their serene journey across the seven seas. And they glow! They glow! Do you glow?! Didn't think so. Jellyfish are everything we must strive to be; free from the shackles of this oppressive universe, simply going with the flow, and letting nature takes its beautiful, confusing course. The pinnacle of biological evolution, to be sure. I wanted to commemorate them via this poem. Pretty straightforward, no?
