Wild Woman and the Sea

Wild Woman

sings a song

to the morning star.

She wanders

the woods

where

all the

wild things

are.

Birds come

to her

and nestle in

her hair,

and flowers

sprout

as if they

have been

planted there.

Wild Woman

is one part

wolf

and one part

sage.

She has learned

so much

by living

for an age.

She has

learned things

from the wild

that give her

wings

and when she's

by the sea

her spirit

sings.

Wild Woman,

keep me

wild

and keep me

free,

and take me back

to live

beside

the sea.
