Ribbons of the sea

 I saw the rising ribbons from the sea

I saw the rising ribbons from the sea

I saw the raging waves

And the lifeguard who saves

And Neptune's daughters 

Who were twins

I saw the father

Like Poseidon

I saw the mother like a coral reef

Beside him

And down beneath

The surf on the cliff

I saw the river sprites

Who were twins


Born in a place and in a time

Far gone over

Beyond mine

The life I have been given

No other shall be shriven

When I saw the rising ribbons

From the sea
