how beautiful they stand
like ships beyond command
above forgotten lands
the clouds
and I am one composed
of the same clouds
or, I dreamed it so
being the dream child
in the glass
of the fairy tale winds
surpassing.
oh what will I see when I look last
and will these kingdoms come to pass
in the mirror they will offer me
above the vast the final seas
or will I vanish into these
murmured the sea maid as she shone
till the indigo waves closed over.
