Remembering by the Ocean

Mother
Mermaid
Dark sea beauty
I beg of you to give me moments
To get glimpses of your glittering starlit
Eyes, your mysterious smile and
And hair that flows through
The ocean; likened to the secrets of the universe
If I see you, I will know
You are real
And I will sift my hands
Through the soft body of the sands
At the shores of your home
And promise to be real too
Maybe you visit people in their sleep
Like the sandman
And they are awakened by conch shells-
The cries of the
Dark lonely ocean calling them and they
Look for you too
One gaze in your
Eyes
They dive down to the depths of the dark
With Sea turtle
Guardians holding their feet
And starfish kisses
Of gentle embrace
Welcoming them
Welcoming us
Mermaid Mother
your radiant light
is calling us home
to the great ocean within
