Ode to the Moon Jelly

Moon jellyfish, ethereal and fair,

Drifting through the depths, a ballet in air.

Translucent bodies, a delicate grace,

Invisible currents guide your embrace.

Moonlit tendrils, trailing behind,

A dance of beauty, nature's design.

Gentle pulsations, rhythmic and slow,

In the tranquil sea's ebb and flow.

Mysteries hidden in your gelatinous form,

A testament to life's diverse norm.
