Over at Thin Spiral Notebook, we had the word water for our 100 Word Challenge. Here’s my interpretation. Be sure to stop by to see what others did as well!
Seal Myth
When daylight ends
and twilight rules
danger comes
in unexpected ways.
A soft lapping
at the shore
the only hint
of something afoot.
A shuffling of rocks
A hidden skin
A chance at
A different life
Footsteps come
A man appears
seeking the lost
among the waves.
Destinies meet
Fates intertwine
until the choice
is taken away
Bound to live
that different life
never returning
to the depths
Until one night
Storms did blow
driving rain
Ships were lost
Choices stand
children at home
husband at sea
Which path to walk
Skin’s return
shifting limbs
wet coolness
an old embrace
Part author, part artist, all dreamer 
Reminds me very much of the selkie legend Well, done
