Sara's Song

________________________________________________________________________ Like a skein of softly woven silk She moves silently across ocean waves Exquisite in her ethereal beuty Dancing effortlessly across moonlit bay Her soul knows no boundaries As it moves silently in the night Her beauty in midnight glowing Like a bird soaring in graceful flight Gliding in misty moonlight In a gleaming white moon blaze Her face glowing among the stars She glides elegantly amongst the waves Her heart cries to the seamen Bereft, longing to be found In the misty ebullient sea In which her poor body drowned The whales sing her lonely song Their cries ring strangely thru' the night Their voices sing without words Grieving of Sara's rueful plight Sara's voice cries out in vain Hertears salty- with ocean air Crying out in quiet depths Endlessly in her despair Glimmering and vast is the sea The tide rages full- the moon shines bright As this sad maiden cries out in despair In the darkness of the lonely night... Her sorrowful notes of sadness - Linger eternal ...in the ocean air ________________________________________________________________________ c/r & written by anne p murray...2012
