MANTA
They circle in the sunlight of the deep
Just giant shadows on the verge of visibility
For tantalizing seconds only to be seen whenever they return
I switch the yellow, flashing trinket off
I hold my breath
I am a shadow now myself
A shape detaches from the haze
Gigantic, slowly, carpetlike, on wings of silk
A mouth moves towards me like I have never seen
And when he blocks the sunlight with his bulk
Above me, close enough to touch
My hand moves by itself.

 reports, 1d 13h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.64 Beyond the Frontier II - Center of Power^taenaron
