- Poem
in the desert of our being
is limitless boundaries
found as shed light on the snow
which does not in the darkness
only change light, mirror
delicate design of inner purity
found in each
Repair, repleting reflections of light
born within a thousand times
thrown like a single snowflake
on the horizon of time
in fragility of every moment
poured from the vessel of time
The soul is the inner light
which leads us ...
To touch this breadth
That in each of our being exists ..
Heather Dale:The Maiden And The Selkie Lyrics
Once a fair and handsome Seal Lord
Lay his foot upon the sand
For to woo the Fisher's daughter
And to claim her marriage hand
'I have come in from the ocean
I have come in from the sea
And I'll not go to the waves, love,
Lest ye come along with me.'
'Lord, long have I loved you
As a Selkie on the foam
I would gladly go and wed ye
And be lady of your home
But I cannot go into the ocean
I cannot go into the sea
I would drown beneath the waves, love,
If I went along with thee.'
'Lady, long have I loved you
I would have you for my wife
I will stay upon your shoreland
Though it robs me of my life
I will stay one night beside you
Never go back to the sea
I will stay and be thy husband
Though it be the death of me.'
Dae dae dae da da dae dae...
'Lord, I cannot go and wed thee
All to watch my lover die
Since I'll not be left a widow
I have a plan for us to try
Let us speak with my grandmother
Who has ever dwelt beside the sea
She may know some trick or treasure
That I may wed my fair Selkie.'
So they've gone to her grandmother's
Little cottage by the sea
To inquire how a maiden
Can be wed to her Selkie
For the Selkie's watery kingdom
Would surely rob her of her breath
But to stay on land past midnight
It would surely be his death.
'Lord, I know not how to aid you
You may never live on shore
For your kind to live 'til dawning
It has ne'er been seen before
But my mother had a seal coat
That she buried 'neath the tree
And she told me that its wearer
Would become a fair Selkie.'
Dae dae dae da da dae dae...
So they've journeyed farther inland
Though the Seal Lord's getting weak
And she's shouldering the shovel
To unearth the thing they seek
At the rising of the fullmoon
Underneath the elfen oak
She has unearthed that faery treasure
Of which her grandmother spoke.
Just before the stroke of midnight
They have made it back to sea
And she has donned the magic seal coat
And become a maid Selkie
Now they've gone into the ocean
Hand in hand into the sea
She has gone along
A fair seal bride for a Selkie.

In the surviving folklore, there is no agreement as
to how often the selkie-folk were able to carry out the transformation.
Some tales say it was once a year, usually Midsummer's Eve, while
others state it could be “every ninth night” or “every seventh stream”.
Regardless of how often they were able
to transform, the folklore tells us that once in human form, the
selkie-folk would dance on lonely stretches of moonlit shore, or bask
in the sun on outlying skerries.
I love these mysterious folk tales - lovely song beautifully sung.
Excellent poem Mary
kept coming in the words
like breaking ice on a frozen x
sea
adore the song
it holds everything for me
*****
A common element in all the selkie-folk tales, and
perhaps the most important, is the fact that in order to shapeshift
they had to cast off their sealskins. Within these magical skins lay
the power to return to seal form, and therefore the sea.
If this sealskin was lost, or stolen,
the creature was doomed to remain in human form until it could be
recovered. Because of this, if disturbed while on shore, the
selkie-folk would hastily snatch up their skins before rushing back to
the safety of the sea.
Very beautiful. Blue.
