Angel of the Sea

Angel of the sea,

cool, calm, quiet, serene,

hypnotic waves lull innocence

towards your cold, dark deep.

Secret Spaces

Secret spaces, special places,

corners of shadow and light,

hidden from sight.

Beneath the window, she breathes,

whilst net curtains, yellowed with age, billow in the breeze -

symbol of oppression, now frail and weak,

From the shadows, she sees.

Gathering strength from the naked floor,

she stands now, tall.

Embracing pleasure and pain of

shattered glass remains, she stands upon the sill

ready to fly, to fulfil the journey of her life.
