It was only a matter of time poem

Description

It was only a matter of time

The sea was calling, I ran to her shore

The white horses opened the door

She was waiting for me to swim in the depths

I didn’t need to hold my breath

I am at one with the water. It is at one with me

I know I belong here, my home the sea

I had borrowed the skin for my time on land

But I needed to go back you must understand

Land locked I couldn’t be free

You’ve always known that this would be

For you are human and I am Selkie

It was only a matter of time

The cadence of the water the tendrils of a rhyme

The ocean lulled me back in

I’m here now with my kin

A feeling I wanted to return to my skin.
