Plainsong of the Sea Maiden
A Personal Poem
Plainsong of the Sea Maiden
And they shall hear that day,
The names I sung upon the quay,
They shall speak of she,
The Lady at the Edge of the Sea,
Ever yearning for what was meant to be…
And there she rests her head upon stone…,
In a land far from home…
She waits for he,
The Light that rises from the edge of the Sea,
Just as He waited for She,
Once, upon the edge of Eternity…
A word unto thee,
The Lady at the Edge of the Sea,
She..., She…,
She was waiting for me….
On the Edge of the Sea did I find her,
Among the heather and the scree,
Singing for another who is not me,
So now I must depart, across the forbidding Sea...

Just Sixty Seconds
Oliver sat at a cold, grey steel-covered table. He knew he was next. The longer he sat here, the more confident he knew he wouldn’t make it. His hands were tied to the chair he was sitting on, pushed up against the steel table. A small camera in the corner of the ceiling with a tiny red flashing light was the only thing he was focused on. He felt sick to the stomach. He knew he didn’t have long.
