mermaid tears (sea glass)
Mermaid Tears
Shall I sail to distant land upon the lullaby of waters high
To then sleep beneath sand as feet step swiftly by
Shall I shimmer in the dawn’s awakening
A softened star in search of home
Shall I live in cherished bowl
Tiny sparkle of collected memories
Shall I shine forgotten on shadowed nape of master
A jewel stringed in circular captivity
Shall I be placed up high on child’s crown
As piece to satisfy youthful dream
Shall I remain immersed in torrential blue
Churned and churned in salt and sand
Shall I sleep in pockets dark
Discarded with the coming days
Or shall I rest cherished in thine heart
Carried ashore by timeless waves to you

Really loved the poem. Especially, the phrase:
“Shall I shine forgotten on shadowed nape of master”
Video choice almost had me in tears – love the song, the scene, and the movie.
