Song of Oshun

Yasmin Hernandez, Yamaya y Ochun, 2003


Daughter of the Waters
Cerulean goddess
Your beauty shimmers
Chandelier crystals windowpane refracted
All the colors of life

Beneath your surface
Shine fairy wands
Flamboyant, joyful
Phosphorescent
A galaxy of playful stars
Fallen from the sky
To scamper among the fishes

Moon crochets a blanket
Of swells upon the wet
As you inscribe love poems
In the sand.

and d'Verse Poets Pub, Open Link Tuesday (too late for Poetics, Interactions!) 

*this poem was written from a list of words provided by my daughter:
chandelier, fairy, scamper, shimmer, inscribe, flamboyant, cerulean, playful, windowpane, crochet (thanks so much for the inspirational words, Allison!)
