The Sea Maid's Reminiscence

I miss sea glass, my mother's pearls
coral music in the whirlpools
the icebergs on the moon,

the moon floating on the waters
the ships of doom retrieved.
most of all, I miss speaking

where I'm heard
even my mind from far distances
in the Dream Time

and not dancing on swords

the fragrance of the frangipangi
the simple accords
of water and light

the depths where I
am out of sight.
