Ocean Moon


Oh, Crystal Filled with Silver Flame,
fresh from the waves where you have bathed,
Limpid Lamp of the Sky please pour pure light,
as night rolls over the ocean waves,
Delicate Phosphorescence Pearl,
your lunar moonstone magic you cannot hide,
Night Opal�s Swan swimming through the stars,
for you control the rhythmic motions of the tide,
The murmur of waves breaking on the shore,
The wind that laps the surface with her spray,
Drowning in the deep waters of my soul,
A word without echoes at close of day,
The longing, the solitude, the silence of a dream,
Opalescent path shimmering starry on the waves,
Plentilune over the ocean, White Rose�s moon-sheen,
Triton�s tumbling sea turns to surf over the coast,
Nights flutters its many twinkling eyes,
Shadows undulate the Neried�s playground in the twilight,
Islands dapple the gray horizon in a dark sky,
Moist clouds obscure the cool Shining Argent Sphere,
A storm arises and lashes lusty Poseidon�s realm,
to a mounting crest of pluming foamy spray,
The ocean tumbles mermaids and roars onto the rocks
The Pale Guardian speaks not for she is hidden away,
Breakers rage because of the vastness of their solitude,
Passion sweeping they seek the shore of dreams,
Infinite as the stars they drown in their oblivion,
This night sea is not the playful one that in day it seems,
Heartbreaks are thrown like bottles into the sea,
Under the Selenite Orb many wander lost in sorrow,
The ocean embraces their mourning and salt tears find home,
But the mystery of the Nacr� Moon and her love give hope until �morrow,
Just then the clouds drift on, tides contract, and the waves retreat home,
All calmed by Amphitrite, Queen Sea Nymph, mounted upon crest of a wave,
The wan celestials come down the moon-path to dance on the sea foam,
The Lovely Luminary is back abloom and all are saved.
