Regina Elliott Poet Free verse

Souls Of The Seas-revised

The souls of the seas are committed to
their maritime dwell,
and the reflected tides shall bear stars
on silent waves that mourn.
I expired in sorrow's seizing of my life,
and now my grieving for humanity has
left my earthly body.
My soul journeys to my beloved Yeshua-
as the merpeople attend my seashell bier
in the summer temperate of the
vasty Atlantic's heart. ~

The vivid portrayal of the souls of the seas committed to their maritime dwell is mesmerising.... The use of reflected tides bearing stars and silent waves that mourn adds a touch of ethereal beauty to the imagery. Regina Elliott December 19, 2023 at 6:03 AM Thank you so much, dear Silent One.
