I was dreaming
I was under water
Drifting along with the currents
Through the reed beds
Of a misty green sea.
Suddenly
I espied a swish
Of a large tail
As it swam by me
But the rest of the body
Of this unknown creature
Remained obscured
I could not see
Through the reeds
Of the misty green sea
I then wondered
As to why my flesh was bare
And also why i was not drowning
I stretched out my arms
Slowly pushing forwards
Gently caressing the water
It was at this moment
I realised,i had a tail
That i had swished
To aid my momentum
At this point
The creature reappeared
As she swam to me
Her long flowing hair
Was a myriad of red yellows, and blue
And her dazzling eyes
Were a subtle jadish hue
She then spoke to me
"Come Hethra, come hither"
"You're always daydreaming!"
And she gently, and gleefully laughed
"Daydreaming?" i thought
"Yes, daydreaming!" said this strange, and wonderful creature
Reading my thoughts
"Come, let us swim to the surface!"
"There is a beautiful moon tonight!"
So i followed her
For whatever else was happening to me
The thought of moonlight reflecting
On a dark blue-green sea
Calmed me
And soon forgot
That other world
That strange dreamworld
where i did not live in water
I was now
Where i should be
With my sister Inanna
Soon, we had gently broken through the surface
Pirouetting skywards
Greeted by a beautiful blue moon
Which shone through
Broken clouds, of a greyish hue
Its' reflection dancing gently
Upon the widening ripples
We began to sing
Beautiful serenades
To this wonderful planet
The mother of us all
And the sweet tranquility
She placed within our beating hearts
