The Selkie
…You awakened a part of my soul that I didn’t even know existed …
You awakened my soul
When I thought I could no longer survive
With just words you made me feel alive..
Again,
after God knows for how long…
You spoke the lovely lilt of hope to me
Hope springs eternal
It’s the wellspring of life…
I wish tomorrow was tonight,
And we could bathe our skin in the dull moonlight
And the stars beckon us to wonders above
And gently strum the strings of everlasting love
I had been gone for so long
But now I’ve arrived …
…home…
Where beauty and love thrive
I shed my skin for him by the light of the moon on
a midsummers night…
You locked me away to stave off boredom and bring you delight
But I found light… within me…
It gave me the courage to fight…
My way back to the sea
You took me back with beautiful abandon
To the depths of the sea… the farthest fathom …
…Finding my way home
