Notes About The Poem

The Seahorse

The Seahorse

Rock little seahorse Down under the blue Rock 'till a new moon Brings love back to you Without any hoofs And a shell for a tail Rock little seahorse Let new love prevail You were left in the ashes Of romance and ruin Stuck on a storm shore That was your undoing But love is eternal So why do you cry Living in sorrow When love says goodbye Life is a carnival Filled with delights So, find a new sea horse And rock away this bleak night

A tender and uplifting piece, Francis. The imagery of the seahorse rocking through heartache carries both vulnerability and quiet strength. I especially love the closing stanza—hopeful and gently encouraging. A beautiful metaphor for healing and renewal.
