Midnight Swim

There is magic in a midnight swim; 
Permeating the air I taste sea spray,
you can hear an echo of a hymn;

Glittering undercurrents convey 
a conch holding the ocean’s sound; 
Rippling waters of mermaid decay;  

Shells like a song cover the ground; 
Under the Moon a siren wails 
reflecting the souls of ships drowned; 

The water glistens with star trails
divination is in the smallest details.
