The Selkie
The white gulls traced their way
Among the wave wracked lines
Of deserted shell and seaweed kelp,
There she climbed from the tide
Onto my hermit beach,
Where she left her sealskin self
Hidden among the rocks.
Her selkie tracks climbed upward
To the bluff
Where in my hut of shipwreck plank
And mermaid drift
she met me,
full of words of beauty and desire.
For a shadowed night,
She took my arms, only to return
In the morning wind
To her skin of damsel brown
To dance on sea wave lace
And swim my love away

| This poem is beautiful. I don't really know what to say about it. It paints such beauty in my mind, yet still there is something in it, that I can't grasp. I just keep reading and reading and it doesn't lose it's beauty or allure. Well, done my friend, well done. |

Incredible, descriptive imagery... Just, beautiful! Your Grandmother must have been one special lady for such a lovely tribute.
Well done.

Such are human/selkie encounters: beautiful but brief.
A thoroughly enchanting tribute to your great granmother. |
