Moonlight in the Sea
Hair the color of saffron
undulating slowly
capturing the sunlight
entangling pearls in her curls
mesmerizing
Surrounded by life
bursting around her
some billowing with the ebb and flow
in time with her glorious hair
some moving through the water
at their own pace
she smiles, face upturned
reveling in the sun that filters down to her
She loves her home
especially in the moonlight
it envelopes her as she gazes
at her eternal twin fish constellation
the waters part as she slices through it
sinuous emerald thrusts Atargatis would envy
Nothing hides her beauty
and the magic that she bears
encouraging us to face our inner demons
forgive our darkest selves
and allow
transformation
