Floating Ophelia

Floating Ophelia
What’s above
And what’s beneath her?

Floating Ophelia
Heart beating like the
Wings of a dove
What else could drown her
But love?

Floating Ophelia
Let’s hear the requiem
For her
Echoes and memories
Of a live lived
In degrees

Of hope
Of daring
Of only just bearing

Floating Ophelia
You were the best
In a watery grave
Laid to rest
