Words On the Sand - Part 1
WORDS ON THE SAND (Part 1)
An old man came to the shore
To write on the sand
'Love' to his wife he always adored
She died as no more pain she could barely stand
Along she comes the watery Fairy
Waves making her long and silver hair
Wearing silky tides while standing on two golden shells
To take from the sand that word in abysmal spells
"She loves you as well", the Fairy said
"This word is so precious" that no pearl could be paid
"I wish you not to be sad and afraid"
While a foamy tide took that word aside
And the sea turned into a silver calm
And the stick he was writing fell from his arm
And a tear dropped on the humid sand
Soon transformed onto a coral stick to stand
A young woman then came also to write
On the sand "Remember" to a man who loved to dance
Saluted by flags after the war took him in a bite
Her blond hair shadowing a purple glance
The sea turned then into a deep emerald radius
A legion of two thousand black stallions
Galloping the tides and pulling their chariots
With two thousand mermaids directing the battalions
"He remembers you", they told her from desperation blind
Saluting her for her courage and mind
"You are so sweet, you are so kind
This word we will guard as a gift of mankind"
The word Remember then dissolved from the sands
The blond lady with purple eyes
Who danced with a hero keeping her in his hands
While the stick she was writing fell in the tides
