Notes About The Poem

Seas of Enchantment

Her first taste of the water
Was filled with excitement
She moved through liquid
Like dolphin swim delightedly

She swam and swam so long
That we had to call her out
For she’d stayed in the water
Until her skin was contracted

Since she was only two then
We didn’t have a clue just
Where her swimming came
She was born with the instinct

We called her a little mermaid
Since the very first swim that year
When she taught us all just how
To enjoy a dip in the clear azure

Where liquid promises make you
Feel like you’ve been given a treasure
Of inspiration and enlightenment,
Gifts from the seas of enchantment
