Child Born of the Sea

One with the creamy foam
Whispering to the sand
Making coral reefs her home
Is The Child Born Of The Sea.

Her feet covered with sand
And hair woven with shells
The breathless world watches
Her emerge from the dark swells,
Oh majestic Daughter Of The Sea!

Not a mermaid, no.
But something much, much more.
Her breath is from the tide
And her soul from the shore.

Up the sand she walks,
Her gait so smooth with flow.
All are struck with awe
As her mysterious beauty shows,
This Child Born Of The Sea.

No greater power found
In all corners of the Earth
That even Father Sea listens
To his Daughter filled with mirth.

The Daughter Of The Sea
Does wonders with her hand
Her sweet touch is so gentle
Darkest Deep does her command,
Great Child Born Of The Sea.

When to her Home she returns
Mighty Ocean stops and waits
His Daughter's back arched
Her swanlike dive He anticipates.

And Great Father Sea
Embraces His Daughter
His tossing limbs holding,
Erasing all bothers

"Keiki Hanau Moana,"
"So good to see your return"
"I wish I didn't have to share you"
"With the rest of the adoring world,"
"Kaikamahine Kai"

Author's Note

I might turn this into a story soon.

Great job, Bri.

"Her breath is from the tide
And her soul from the shore."

I love this line. It is so deep and telling.

Was this inspired by anything? It is beautiful. It reminds me some sort of ancient, maybe Greek or Roman mythology. I enjoy the idea of the Daughter and Father of the sea.

Great read.
