09 Queen Sea

I wear the hush between the waves The silver sleep, the turning tide I keep the names the moon forgot I keep the ache the depths still hide If you are lost, come past the foam If you are breaking, drift to me I know the shape of grief by touch I know the sound of memory I am the Queen Sea Tide and shimmer, salt and song Come to the blue where the night breathes slow I will hold what the world held wrong I am the Queen Sea Soft as mercy, deep as fate If you go under, follow the glow I will meet you beyond the waves Gardens grow among the wreckage Lanterns sleep beneath the sand There are threads the water carries Drawing you toward my waiting hand I am the Queen Sea Tide and shimmer, salt and song Come to the blue where the night breathes slow I will hold what the world held wrong I am the Queen Sea Soft as mercy, deep as fate If you go under, follow the glow I will meet you beyond the waves Lay your armor in the shallows Let the salt undo the stain I will teach your breath the rhythm Of release instead of strain Bring the fracture, bring the fever Bring the grief you could not name I will make a place to hold it Till the tide unthreads your pain I am the Queen Sea Tide and shimmer, salt and song Come to the blue where the night breathes slow I will hold what the world held wrong I am the Queen Sea Soft as mercy, deep as fate If you go under, follow the glow I will meet you beyond the waves Not to drown, nor to erase Never steal your fire away Only wash the ash from longing Till the black tide thins to day I am the Queen Sea Tide and shimmer, salt and song Come to the blue where the night breathes slow I will hold what the world held wrong I am the Queen Sea Soft as mercy, deep as fate If you go under, follow the glow I will meet you beyond the waves Blue light Moon tide Welcome home
