What knows we rocks
Silent sentinels on oceans shore
Warn smooth by Tethys caress
As uncounted eons pass
Oh daughter of Uranus
And child of Gaia
What memories must you have
Sweet Goddess of the sea
Hold me in your arms
And whisper in my ear
That I too may know the mysteries
Of thy briny depths
And thereby become more
Than mere moss covered stone
Unfeeling and mute
Cold and alone
Seduced by her serenity
I ventured forth
To taste her salty caress
Then
Dragged to her bosom
I slipped beneath her waves
To where crabs now frolic
Amongst my bones
