Moon glowing brightly
over a frozen sea
Captured
in photo of me
I'm on the ice
Looking down to the deep
Face glowing
as I see another looking back at me
A silvery mermaid
glowing under the moon
Trapped
under the ice
Smiling
up at me
My hand reaching for hers
Flat against the ice
Hers against her side
We can't touch
Until the ice has long gone
We promise to see each other again
I put down the picture
Looking out onto the same sea
Open and fresh
Waiting for me
Her head bobs in the waves
Brightly smiling at me
And off I go
Back to my sea
