Mystic Rose Rose Poet Free verse

Finally Home

For love of night I claimed my fears released them to the moon 
like a crawfish in the sand I sifted through my magical runes 
seeking symbols and answers but only finding the quiet croon 
of a lonely seagull, over trees shaped like big black balloons 

The ocean resembled tempered glass reflecting stars above 
foamy sea spray, a roar, a wave then, silence... 
leaping into the deep I probed the mysteries of my living essence
and found a kindship with the creatures of the sea 

Watching a lighthouse from a distance I heard the foghorn go
three blasts from the lighthouse, "going astern" 
returning to the amniotic fluids of my mother's womb 
then reborn by the stability of past virtues, soul accepted day 

For love of sleep I dismembered before the sea 
diving into its partitions like a mermaid longing to be free 
claiming meteors and shooting stars as my very own 
I sailed away without a life jacket for I was safely home.
