tangled up in green-
emerald
forest
kelly
moss
a spray of
beryl mist

I let myself drift…

content to be
with my friends
in the marine,
and the mermaids
of blue’s sink,
and the plants
of ocean’s drink

wrapped around me
they anchor me
to the sea…

drawing me
inwards
and under
and down
-I nestle in the deep
float with the green-
keeping time
keeping love
keeping soft
keeping hope

free to be
no one but me,
I swim and joy
and dance with the mystery
