Juniper
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The coral had turned blue,
the variety of juniper,
like the lady of the sea,
her arms were many.
You're mariner heart she'd steal,
as she sent you back to the stars.
But only in a dream, you'd see her making waves, beautifully tearing the seams.
You'll wait for her in the shallows,
longing to be free.
She wouldn't let you ground there,
pushed-a-tide you'd be.
