Awaiting a Tale

I call the sea my home
With white winged seagulls and salt sprayed foam.
Slippery ledged rocks about
as I peek to watch the human’s shout.

Sailors have cried for lost 
Plunging into the waters with their ropes crossed 
I rush to there side 
in hopes guide. 
I live amongst the dolphins 
where I often catch a ride. 

Many a sailor has marveled about my existence 
Remembering that I’m a mermaid I keep my distance 
Tales are told from the young and the old 
about a evening of fury .
appeared a mermaid, to their eyes still blurry.
 
So I glide along this water of green 
magical ocean potions marine. 
So if you ever walk along the shore 
listen to the ocean sounds that roar. 
In it’s echoes 
I shall soar. 
Mermaid woman ,forever more.
