The Siren's Lyre



We have fallen into the place
where everything is music.

This singing art
is sea foam.
The graceful movements
come from a pearl
somewhere
on the ocean floor.

Poems reach up like spindrift
and the edge of driftwood
along the beach
wanting, wanting.
                    Rumi



This is my entry for the Three Muses challenge this week "Music".

    This is very strange and wonderful and illustrates the fantastic poem so well. I like the way you have draped the curtains to give the underwater theatre effect.
