A Goddess of the Sea

To Zeus she is the goddess of magic seaside mysteries Beneath her golden tendrils a flowing waterfall She flies up to the Moon to sleep in Orion's arms Then tumbles back down to the sea over skin of alabaster Ripples of love float on moonbeams golden glow to skip across the dancing sea to stir her heart of biotite She loves to twirl across the waves in arcs of joyful glee And make phosphorous plumes like iridescent candlelight Misty nights she plays her harp of gilded seaweed strings Then sends aloft the liquid notes of effervescent song To all the stars above the oceans' tranquil calm That the universe may exalt in her healing balm For fun she shines the shore with a million sparkling drops While drifting between the currents on winds' whispering call It lifts her heart to feel the waves blue breath of foam As she swims with sisters in a frothy crest of her magical sea
