Black Tendrils

The surf rattled its applause
on a stony shore
White gulls swirled high
over a black stone tower

The clouds ripped across the sky,
the wind sang its song
Before the morning hour,
a woman walked alone

The cold wind blew around her hair,
five tendrils of blackest deed
She walked towards a distant shore,
her darkness will be free

My child she cried, is here today,
we meet below the waves
My child will welcome me,
by Neptune's coral caves
