Notes About The Poem

Freedom Sees - Part 2


"Freedom Sees - Part 2"

Platoon magic legion
Hammerheads
beautiful, graceful escorts
leading the way
hear their call, silently swishing
dorsal fins
cutting through the 
fall-out murky pall,
they need no 
blood and guts Burley, 
their seas are pristine
watch their mute scene
unfurling, they are calling
to her 
with all their might and glory
“Freedom, My Queen".

Pelicans carrying 
gifts in their bills,
below them,
Giant Jumping
marine monsters
hold their swords high
victorious ascension 
sharp silver unicorn drills
they see only Blue Skies
nothing spills 
in their ocean.

Giant Manta Rays 
never follow the herd,
Lone sentries always
guarding the girl 
who’s still standing tall, 
standing firm
adorned with her inheritance
the lustrous dignified knowing
Mother Crown of Pearls.

She laughs at the smiling clowns
of her oceans, 
her heart is constantly beating time 
such emotions.
All of a sudden, her eyes finally open,
She sees. She sees.
Beauty abounding all around her.
She gets down on her knees,
she touches God,
when she touches 
her devotion.

Next to her face close to the water
the Ancient Goddess Deep Sea Turtle
carries sea-weed in her beak 
sustenance for her eldest daughter,
navigating her solitary course to safe island, 
safe waters,
where she will lay down to nest, lay her eggs
then protect her babies 
from life's hazardous contest,
before they waddle back into the Ocean.
This will be Life's biggest test.

Glistening 
Rainbow Paua 
Mermaid Tails
flip the bird -
their Freedom Liberation
Call “Follow Me!”, they sing.
Their intoxicating Siren’s Song
Alluring tails slap the Ocean,
so very loud, what a commotion!
A revelation,
a wake-up call,
this is then heard - 
"Follow Me! Follow Me!
LOVE! JOY! BE!
LOVE! JOY! BE!”

Great Southern Right
sings loud to her
Blue Baby Baleen
swimming free. 
She’s always beside her
singing telephathic and
loud otherworldly symphony.
No Golden Compass daemon
in these their
Freedom Seas.
SHE sings loud and free
“My Beautiful Blue Baby Baleen  -
 You are my QUEEN.
  You are my QUEEN.”

The White Horses of her seas
are stampeding
The Albatross flying high above her
always close, leading, 
soaring higher, higher, and 
ever higher sings to her 
this his respect,
his Mariner's song - 
for her memory.

"You are free my beautiful Queen! You are free!".

I love Manta Rays...research them. They certainly do not follow the herd. Strong, majestic, loners. Like a lot of writers, I guess. Majestic falling into the realm of ego. Then again, maybe not..'hurd' but 'heard'. Maybe I should replace with 'school'. Perhaps there are angels in the Soup, guarding the girl like the Manta's. I think that's kind of special, kind of divorced from the concept of ego. Kind of chivalrous, gentile.I am no Queen of poetry, but I will always be Queen of my life.
