Lady Marina
This lady has always been here
Now she appears
On the waterfront
A vision
Let us welcome the lady of peace,
Lady Marina
Daughter of the morning star
And the moving moon
She lifts her head from her book
As pure love rises from it
She looks up at the fading stars,
to the birds
as in formation they fly
to far away places
Crying "Farewell"
in their myriad voices
Hail Lady Marina
Goddess of the Harbour
Spirit of the town
Protector of citizens
of ships
Guardian of the tides
as they ebb and flow
The four winds play at her sides
gathered, intermingling
in beautiful colours and shapes.
It is early morning
the sun is a disk of fire
rising
A new dawn
dazzling in the early sunlight
A vision
a dream come true
lady of Peace
we welcome you.
Poem by M.Gowen
