The 2012 Edition - La Jolla High School

A silver sky for the lidless eye,
A bright and darting dancer races by
To the coral festival, animated,
In this colored toonworld, all is fated.
Devils glide, angels guide as specters float,
The sirens share the same graves as boats
Since bones of either sink to equal tomb;
Sacred mausoleum where hagfish gloom.
Timber of the urchins, pillar of burgun
Ate away by many needled surgeons
Then set adrift in dark islands of woe
Amidst swell, upon shore, or where rifts blow.
A diamond distance, sea-glass in the sand
A sun leaves the world it once tanned
It forms into a prawn egg and drops into the sea
While the sky blushes, as our sights flee.
