Three Women & The Sea

She said that water had an even depth where monsters lay
She said she knew they’d drag her to her death beneath the spray
I feel so creatures would envelop her she only knew
That die she would a tragic victim and a martyr too
Sisters united, sisters divided
Sisters united, sisters divided
By the sea
She said she had a feel the sea would take her breath from her
It’s all pervading flow would fill her lungs without a can
As useless limbs betrayed her weakened might the ocean’s might
She’d slip away beneath the brook into the endless night
I said I feared the blackness, feared the things I couldn’t see
Of water black as ink, blackness to infinity
I guessed for hours with a fear but with a longing too
To disappear completely and to live a life anew
