SARA'S SONG

Like a skein of softly woven silk

She moves silently across ocean waves

Exquisite in her ethereal beauty

Moving effortlessly across moonlit bays

Her soul knows no boundaries

As it moves silently in the night

Her beauty in midnight glowing

Like a bird soaring in graceful flight

Gliding in misty moonlight

In a gleaming white moon blaze

Her face glowing amongst the stars

She glides elegantly across the waves

Her heart cries out to the seamen

Bereft … longing to be found

In the misty ebullient sea

In which Sara’s poor body drowned

The whales sing her lonely song

Their cries ring strangely thru’ the night

Their voices without words

Grieving Sara’s rueful plight

Sara’s voice cries out in vain

Her tears- salty with ocean air

Crying out in quiet depths

Endlessly in her despair

Glimmering and vast the mighty sea

Tides rage full- the moon shines bright

This sad maiden cries out in despair

Through the darkness of the lonely night

Her sorrowful notes of sadness-

Linger eternal in the misty ocean air

~~~~~

So many years now...

Sara still wanders all alone

In Neptune's deep watery grave

All the brave seamen so forlorn

Sara's poor lifeless body...

Those gallant seamen could not save
