The selkie sits on solemn sands,
Her hair a curtain wet.
She sings her songs of splendid seas -
A shining silhouette.

Her lily coat lies loosely strung,
Her shoulders slim and white,
She sighs with sounds of salty spray;
A voice of naught and night.
A play on Irish folklore and alliterations
She despised him
because of the threats
the promises
the cries
the screams


She abhorred him
because of the lies
the bruises
the scams

Hatred filled her heart
that was once full of joy
and from deep within
t'was all because of him
Abuse .. rather child abuse or spouse
abuse.. or any other kind..
should NOT be tolerated.
Too many scars....
Away from the white Stork feathers
Often seemed to be gentle breeze
On Kans grasses
Superficial white clouds
Small dinghies on the river
To navigate the life

Far away on the bridge
The Silent movement of the Brahminy kite
Southern breeze blew
Tilting the tall grasses toward the North
Leak of the light fell into the Kans,
Into the Soft green grasses

Sunlit mingled with light fog
Seek heavenly feeling
Without the knowledge
The lips Stir of

Walking beside the river
Barefooted
In the air Kestrel's mystic music
The river running with full of chime

What are the forms of you!
Thee bind me with deception!
What a Strange tune!
What those thirsty words!

So that I draw your image
Moving away from the shadows
Soft light blended with the estuary
Away,
Little by little,
To see your face
Like the rig of Ship

Behind the path
A magical dream
Seems like a White Shirt  
That I had left in the Kans grasses

Unburden my heart
With soft words or hard
Unseen unformed words
Like clay in a jar

What can my soul spring
But fountains of dreams
From the depth of divine
What will my muse bring

Unburden my heart
And set my mined free
Untainted by memories
Of the hell I have seen...

Be busy..
To be
Stress free.
When an older person says something, we tend to realize how much we've yet to learn.... but when a younger person speaks up, we tend to remember how much we've forgotten. Everyone helps someone else even when they don't realize it. Have you hugged a child today?
I'm a hostess in several groups of poetry
on Facebook. I was thinking of grandparents and
the things they could teach us. Then I began
to think of the grandchildren as well.
It's amazing how much we can learn from them.
Hugzzz!!
