Here is another in my series of sea-themed pieces. I wrote “Mermaid Song” on double strung harp. Listen for the echo effect. Enjoy the Ocean Drum and cowrie shell shaker in this piece as well!

Tender calls of, “Who!”
Shy babies cower safely
Mother preens her wings

The Green Man #Decima #Poem
The good Green Man is in the trees:
Magnolia, walnut, myrtle, pear.
His vibrant happiness is there
For all of us who choose to see.
No matter what the season brings,
Connect with nature. Be inspired!
Relax in peace when feeling tired.
Removed from busy, rushing zip,
Find something good, and take a sip,
As Green Man kindles new desire!

The wisp of a breeze
Gently caresses my cheek
Nature’s fingertips

That caw, chirp, tweet, warble, screech

Summer Solstice #Decima #Poem #Writephoto
Download “Summer Solstice” Mp3
This Solstice day we make a wish
The Sun within to shine without
To manifest and voice aloud
Desires, goals we seek and fish.
Our open hearts and hands, a dish
Accepting blessings’ filling flow.
Regardless of the winds that blow,
Still, deep within remains the Light,
Through Solstice day and darkest night:
Our Life, Creator, Pow’r of Love!

Fragile 3TC #Tanka #Poem
A butterfly soars
Flying freely with the breeze
Fragile but not weak
We, too, can flow with heartache
Not as fragile as we feel
Song of the Sea #Music

I wrote this song in 2015. You can listen to the ukulele version with lyrics
here.
Today’s lovely instrumental is played on Ocean Drum, double strung harp, cowrie shell shaker, and Oriole (soprano) recorder. These instruments work especially well in this piece. I hope you enjoy it!
“Blow the Man Down” #Music
Download “Blow the Man Down” Mp3
You probably know this tune, but did you know it’s an English sea shanty from the 1800s and possibly earlier? I heard it as a child and wanted to include it in my sea-themed pieces.
Here, the Ocean Drum plays its wave sound, as well as rhythm beats. Melody and harmony are both played on alto recorder, with ukulele accompaniment.
I hope this brings a smile to your face! ☺️
