Dominion
by Wynelda Ann Deaver
They have no dominion here.
They can try to steal you away. Wrap their silly lies tighter than a California roll. Try to explain how your are born of the earth…
It’s all lies.
You are a daughter of the seas. Ocean’s grace flows through your veins. They will steal your voice, your coat, your scales, your very soul. Stop allowing it.
Men often try to steal Ocean’s secrets. Some come away with the smallest glimpse of her treasures. But that is all she will allow. And if they go too far—well, dead men tell no tales, so the hidden depths of Ocean remain safe.
Ocean remains unconquered, never silent, never making her waves smaller to appease others. She sings through your veins, constant and endless. Her endless waves crashing against the sand, slowly eroding the shore.
Those who would steal your voice? Your choice?
They have no dominion here.
