Atlantis (photo by son Tom, 2009)

Sunset glisters

from the sea serpent’s scales.

 

Night’s lighthouse beams reach out,

till lost in dark Atlantic wastes.

 

Where below,

on red lava pillows,

you snake shift,

shape shift,

lover of the torn and bleeding

oceanic depths,

 

till we wake again

to playful sunbeams

and the soaring birds.

 

Atlantis (Son Tom's Video 2009)

Sunset glisters
from the sea serpent’s scales.

Night’s lighthouse beams reach out,
till lost in dark Atlantic wastes.

Where below,
on red lava pillows,
you snake shift,
shape shift,
lover of the torn and bleeding
oceanic depths,

till we wake again
to playful sunbeams
and the soaring birds.
