'No Name'

Clicking sounds, 

Near the shore woke him from his slumber

at the bottom of the sea...

Click and click,

Like a lone melody,

 Filled his ears

Flling him with wonder,

'Here was I,

No Name was I',

Thought he with aching sadness

alone in his not so empty domain,

yet so lonely he could barely stand it.

'So it is decided.'

With all the power in his body,

He swam to the shore,

Came face to face with the forbidden

To take a breather of the human world,

Brave but glad that his only witness was the troubled moon,

Click....

Clickclickclick....

As if annoyed with waiting,

the melody reminded him why he was there.

It took him long to find the sound maker,

Only to realize it was just a men made object,

'Bottle, I think it's called',

though not interested any longer,

Even though,

he's hands wouldn't let it go ,

he dived back into his cave, 

underneath the sea,

where he was 'No Name',

tied the bottle with a piece of rope and let it float,

Click...

clickclickclick...

the sounds filled his home,

thus 'No Name' didn't feel so alone...
