Seeing Jenny by the Sea
Jenny gathers sea shells on victory’s shore
and sings sweet songs of simple joys
the mermaids taught her long ago.
These are her halcyon days
dressed by soft winds and bright blue skies.
Gone is the desperate rage of battling storms
conjured to test her inmost strength.
Now she happily laughs, content and free,
and quietly slips into Love’s shining sea.
