Lullaby
By Meg Winikates, June 2, 2009

Cast your wish upon a sea star.
Let the current carry your dreams.
Rock in the waves of moonlight.
Let your skin slip apart at the seams.
Surf upon the stardust
With the selkies all dancing beside,
While the siren sings to her hairbrush,
And the moon falls in love with the tide.

There’s a song in our souls that connects us
To the rhythm of ripples on shore
The touch of Wild Magic selects us
For our dream fins and night wings and more.
Cast your wish upon a sea star,
Let the current carry your dreams,
Whisper soft to the wind who you most are–
At the heart of the oyster, it gleams.
