intuitive collage. Sing the Ocean into being. and Sednas Story Once long ago there was a beautiful woman called Sedna of the Inuit tribes
I didn’t want a husband marriage was not my vibe
My father found me many nice young men
But I did not love them, he found me more than 10
Refusing every hand that proposed to me
My father grew angry and sent me off to sea
To an island all alone in a remote place
You will never leave he said, until you marry and save our families face
Isolated and sad, I thought my troubles would never end
But one day along came a man who did send
Me an offer, I could not refuse, plenty of food
A cozy home by the sea with him as my husband so good
He was dark and mysterious and funny too
So I accepted his proposal, we were married and soon
Off we sailed to live on his plentiful island
There should be happy times at last, in hope I stand
I was not thrilled to be his wife but I accepted my lot
He assured me, once I tasted married life my doubts would soon be forgot
Once in my new home I found it populated with birds
Their shrill calls filled the air, they were all we heard
Settling down to married life my husband one day said
My dear, I have a secret, I must reveal now, please don’t dread
What I’m about to show you, you must know the real me
I’m actually something unusual, a shapeshifter u see
So he stood before me and slowly changed his form
He became so dark, then ugly before becoming a raven, black as storm
Now changing form he said, I’ll keep my body this way
My true self will no longer be hid, bird man I shall stay
Not only that he wasn’t really a good provider
In poverty and turmoil now I felt I needed an advisor
For I was married to a bird, his true self revealed
I wasn’t happy as this had all been concealed
From me, till it was too late
What should I do? Should I accept my fate?
I decided to send a message to my father
Telling him the truth, I felt I would rather
Leave my husband than live the way things were
My father came on a boat to rescue me, telling me do not fear
I was so grateful to be going home in the boat
We sailed on and on my happiness afloat
But my smiles did not last long as bird man
Saw me leaving and flew behind as he can
His bird friends on the island also followed
The sky was full of wings and feathers they bowed
To the winds and whipped up a mighty storm
Tossed by the winds and rain my father was forlorn
Thinking to save himself from the wrath of the bird man’s flight
He tossed me over board to drown, this was my sorry plight
Not giving up I struggled and clinged to the sides of the boat
I wanted to live and just sail home but my Dad was a fearsome stoat
He grabbed his fishing knife and chopped off my numb fingers
Not able to hold on a sank and sank to the depths where death lingers
Leaving my whole life behind I sank to drown but I did not die
The spirits helped to breathe although in shock I questioned why?
However, I mastered the watery depths and in the ocean became its queen
My sorry fingers became sea creatures more beautiful than u have ever seen
My hair grew tangled and matted and I could not comb it without my hands
But on the sea floor my spirit did soar, although wrathful now, mighty I stand
I help and preserve all the animals of the ocean deep
And all the secrets of the depths I do keep
I am now the bountiful mother of all marine life in the great blue sea
The life of whales and seals and so many amazing creatures all originate with me
In my watery underworld lair
Shamans do visit me and comb my hair
Consoling and comforting my goddess spirit
So they have enough to eat with no limit
I now live my purpose as the Queen I should be
Independent of men, powerful and finally free
