tears of the mermaid



.


what washed up on the shore today
looked like something from my past
small and shiny and so very precious
i took it in my hand
held it close
and cried
oh you see the ocean is so vast
the endless open sea
we are tossed around upon the waves
we are clinging to the flotsam
hoping for a strong wind
to blow us home
back to that wonderful golden time
when the sun was warm
the days were full of peace
and our hearts
were unbroken




.




unbroken
