"Water Music"



The Ocean sweeps in
before you know it
your feet are sinking
you’re pulled out with the tide
and Life wraps it’s fluid wings around you, 
you errant, embrace the smother,
retreat has lost it’s hook, and somehow you rise


With a mouthful of forgotten words
swallowed inharmonious and silent
like sands fathoms deep now 
falling rapidly through 
the slender fingers of time, somewhere 
low and vast behind you, 
you are released from the sucking undertow


On the surface
like a recalcitrant buoy ringing its bell
shakes a remnant of what it is 
to hold onto Life and 
for whom it tolls,
salt encrusted, invisible, its call is ancient
Something powerful pervading and unknown


The Ocean sweeps in
before you know it
your feet are sinking
you're pulled out with the tide
and a Fisher King has got you by the tale
you are now walking on water 
you lose grip on a warm hand outstretched


there is your absent mind
addled with disbelief


you sink


swallowed in the belly of the whale
no time there,


an endless chasm
for you to think


The Ocean swallows you
Inside the Leviathan you’re numb to dream
the monster opens its mouth
silently you hold your life on its tongue, 
it has the power to speak
when you adamantly listen to no one


like echolocation it hits you within 


Water music to swim 
up towards the Sun


Out of the Great Depths
A new life begins
Waves are swelling o’er you
The Messengers of Poseidon 
arrive like the Ancient Mariner's myths, there are Angels, 
singing Silver Fins smile 


you hold on 


they
bring you in


(LadyLabyrinth/2109)
