Mermaids' Scream

I send away hidden words
Held aloft moonlit birds
In this heart you still beat
Unhindered

In the pounding of storms
One more wreckage beneath
I will salvage our dream

As your voices ring out
Like a mermaid's scream
I'll keep watch in the fog

On the shore of this world
Foot-stepped sand
I know well
Not alone it's just me
Listening
