Sea sighs in blackened hues

Softly she whispers
Enter into deeper calm
Here on my mirrored black & silver shimmers
Sink into my darkest seaweed chill
Just feel
splash of salty droplets
Black against those ruby cheeks
I reflect your darkest sadness
In beauty few may capture
For I am secret as the fish
hidden on my sandy floor
Lay you down upon my rocking breast
gaze on shadowy forests creeping up my beach
Forests of autumnal greens
Trunks that fade from brown to secret shadows
Black
Rest admiring eyes upon
Grey ashen mountains fading with the sun
to Black

Be still
Soothed in time with my dusky waters
And know
Black is beautiful as Eternity
Peaceful as September seas ‘neath darkening skies
that welcome home the peaceful black
of night

Did you sit a momentt
In this our blackened never
Knowing it’s ok?

Did you hear the whispers
From the sea
Sent to calm your day?

This sea who sighs in blackened hues
Sings her song for us
tuck these salty waters black
Into your pocket
Beside that LBD I wore
Beside my heart
They’re yours
To hold in safety deep
Deep inside your black
