Sophia (2)

I'm thinking of you
as I knew you
those years ago
not far from the sea

Talk far into the night
with only a little light
for me to discern
your face

The walks by the sea
the songs by the sea
where the mermaid
would swim at times

A black shadow
never far from your side
who had just joined you
when I first met you

A little torch
now bereft without you
searching frantically
but you'd never come back

The walk from Balranald
no shoes on your feet
in touch with mother earth
with whom you'll now reside

I still cannot believe
I won't see you again
only recordings of your voice
That happy image in Lochmaddy

Swim strong
Maighdean mhara
You've touched many
Near and far
