Naiad

She hears the distant soft caress
There in the gloom
Colors surround with tenderness
Guiding her through

In the forgotten sweet abyss
Another sound
Twilight floating memories

And still they keep
Shimmering crystal promises
One space between

Breathing the newborn waves
Kneeling for the sea she became
