Elegy For the Sea Creatures
Words and Music by Freda Blanchard
Magic paths move out to sea and soon return
tangled weeds torn from their hold,
a floating urn,
Soft wet seaweed left to wither
on the weatherbeaten shore.
Silver waves you rise to die on jagged rocks.
Sea creatures lost their homes,
and seagulls mock.
Meals of treasure for their pleasure
disembark into the dark.
Crimson trees your branches shade the silent sand
Cover shells left upon dry
and hungry land.
Homes of creatures washed to beaches
graves that mourn no more.
