Mermaid

MERMAID
Ocean girl I feel you riding 
on the waves at night,
flashing in a brilliant spray 
of mist and lunar light.

From the deep you've gathered sea shells 
in your lily hand
tossed them to the moon like dreams 
no one can understand.

Have you been someone I've known? 
I guess I'm part of you.
Ocean girl, I'd love you still, 
but don't know what I'd do.

Living in the dream you are, 
and riding on the sea,
through coral reefs and shipwrecked souls
 for our eternity.

Crystal blues and yellow hues 
from off the ocean floor
beckon to the wandering 
I've always hungered for.

If I loved you once again, 
as I've done in the past,
would it be a dream sureal 
but one to never last?

Ocean girl, don't tell me now, 
I'll never want to know,
where it is you're coming from, 
or where we have to go,

take my hand and dive into 
uncharted ocean's fate,
and as for what I am right now, 
it will have to wait.
