snowflake sea
s. lowery 12/2011

Snowflake dandelions, send feathers to my dreams

Wake up waters from long ago and send into gorging streams

Purging, scoring jagged rocks, on the downhill slide

Smoothing, polishing worn out thoughts
Taking from the rivers to the turning tides
 

Ocean call my name, call me back to be

To swim the kelp beds of my ancestors

Profess my name to the sea
Cleaning foam from seaweed
With sands from the beginning of time
From shore to shore of our ancient world
To the pearl in the oyster born
