christine's lament



christine's lament

catching the fireflies
hasn't changed things
reality still lingers
inside my head
silently waiting
telling me secrets
in the quiet of the night
never realizing
every whisper is an ocean

lonely mermaids
appear on the shore
naked in their defeat
giving the game away
to those of us who
recite their ancient rhyme
each to each we say together
each to each entwined forever

~ welker ~
