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
