Waters Deep

Waters Deep

Come swim with me in waters deep,
With swish of tail and sparkling scale,
Through the caves of wishing wells
Where dreamers dream in rich detail

Below the waters breaking waves
We’ll ride the tides to nether lands
Down beneath the breathing clans
To depths that quicken hearts demand

Then rest with me on rocky shores
As we bask in rays of ecstasy
Above the waters, definitely,
We’ll find our true heart’s destiny

True hearts destiny. That is so where we all long to be. And I so agree with Carolyn Devonshire, you have written some beautiful lines.

You have some amazingly beautiful lines -- "swish of tail and sparkling scale." I often dream of oceans and lakes and a counselor told me these dreams are filled with emotions swirling. Awesome writing! If for a contest, best wishes for a win. Hugs, Carolyn
