Annwyn, Beneath the Waves

Monica Richards


Here, thoughts cling airborne   To a sea of voice so glorious; mesmerizing  
This is my body; this is my inner mind;   What lies beneath my eyes  
Discarded years of elemental faith   Beckoned to a watery embrace with love upon his face  
My appetite's unchanged  

Sink into dream: these enchanted depths   The realm of muted wisdom  
Slowly descend; trust ignites the darkness   And bliss is this drowning moment  

Believe me I am sorry   To charm with bitter eyes; mesmerizing  
Careless magic turns upon itself, washed down in ritual  
Your coin and prayer can't feed the wishing well  
The silence glistens on my skin; the water urges charity  
I crave a grander offering   My appetite's unchanged  

Here I remain   This is my body; this sea my inner mind  
Find comfort in my arms   Winds beckon above the surface; storms wane forsaken  
My gaze is baptism; mesmerizing  

Come to me   Greet me with open arms   Mesmerizing
