The Water Nymph

A water nymph glides beneath still waters 
and as time lapses I sigh and wait  
by rivulets and ripples God breathes me in  
All senses are to freedom for the sake of 
beautiful grace....
Oh water nymph, what do I know 
about the peaceful ways of you?  
Standing still in motion in your habitat 
I am with longing in my heart....
You make the waters dance of their own accord 
and ore has it, you never left this place of servitude 
Holding space you honor the river 
with your hair of light and lace, 
Oh water nymph please receive me in,     
before I disappear without a trace...
