Tanweer Dar
Song of the sea
Poem
© 2023, Tanweer Dar
It started as
Barely a whisper
A gentle breeze
A flowing river
Melody formed
A strange sensation
No birdsong this
Nor singing cetacean
Inexplicably drawn
To its peculiar cadence
Could it truly be
The voice of maidens
Into the sea
I willingly walked
Utterly oblivious
To that which stalked
Beneath the waves
I am pulled smiling
By the source of the sound
So beautiful, beguiling
