Ondine

Ondine Ondine ...you are untamed Tonight A yielding Lover….You held me long before I was born. speak to me with the language of Dreams A Mystic Bridge between the Light and Mystery. You Summon….then RAISE The Storm , the War and the Distance between two colors Naked in your Beauty only in the darkest of Nights … with no will of your own . let flow the Waters of Life against the Sky...I am soundless Gray as you rise from this ocean…a Myth…then a Woman You do not choose to create or destroy but Heal with a cold and wicked heart. I am Criminal… Suspect …Always in chains… the fury of creation In the waters that give life. Your Dance hidden, The Song unheard My prayer is silent against empty Cathedral Walls Of your Bones. I suffer your Love and become immortal then die in your memory I am Reborn again and Again…Creating Myself from the Ashes Then leaving only Ashes You do not give Birth...but only plant the seed by casting the dimmest of lights, against the waters, against the shadow that is me. cwh

Author's Note on the Composition of "Ondine" The poem is for the Muse in all of us...the struggle some face pulling any work of Art from the deepest waters that are us. Ondine is a water spirit...it seemed fitting to use her. In order to find her you must capature her in your net...and the moment we pull her from the waters she becomes mortal and begins to die...like all works of Art.... there is not enough room for me to fully explain..
