Just a year ago - Within the Field of Rushes

A Reed Weaving

From the Coral Sea to New Caledonia
The other side of a world unknown
I wrapped my heart in a weaving of rushes
And set it there on the foam
Sail away, sweet child of my youth
Through the vast seas silver water
To be plucked from the tide and kissed into truth
By the Pharo’s clear eyed daughter
