En el fondo del mar
Se alza un castillo como una montaña
Los peces navegan en sus pasillos
y salen por las ventanas.
Bajo cojines y almohadas
los cangrejos duermen por semanas
las algas cuelgan como cortinas
cuidando las entradas
Los caracoles suben los muros para llegar
Hasta los soles y estrellas que adornan arriba
En las mazmorras vijila atento un gran calamar
para que las sirenas no se vallan a escapar.
Una vez al año llegan
Viajeros que migran desde otras tierras
Tortugas, delfines y hasta ballenas
se alojan en sus grandes piezas
La torre mas alta a veces
sale del agua por unos meses
esto ocurre cuando los pajarillos
llegan a hacer sus nidos
Pulpos y caballos de mar se encargan de limpiar
mientras los tiburones vijilan por afuera
y las anemonas adornan por cada rincon
como flores voraces por fuera y por dentro
Y una espora hace que el agua empieze a brillar
iluminando al castillo desde el fondo del mar
Iluminando al castillo desde el fondo del mar
