Ye Great Goddesses and Water Nymphs of Old

Ye Great Goddesses And Water Nymphs Of Old Tis not of your sweet beauty I do now write ye great goddesses and water nymphs of old. Rather your images in poetic,fanciful flight of chaste virtue and your beauty I am sold. Poets have graced thee in power of flight be it in the air or in clear water ye flee. By grace of day you hold off chill of night Mystical flying images bring poetry from me. Wherein bluest ocean waves my mind embrace there rests tales and odes written to you. I plead ignorance of all virtues of grace Yet in humble poetic verse give ye your due. Your fame now rests in hearts oceans deep with joy found in your tales poetically told. Dream of your all,mind now restful in sleep And long for your touch,be it ever so bold. Sweet nymphs, may your grace forever shine these mortal hearts long to again to see. Your water dancing in morn's light so fine as we desire just a gentle touch from thee. Tis not of your sweet beauty I do now write ye great goddesses and water nymphs of old. Rather your images in poetic,fanciful flight of chaste virtue and your beauty I am sold. Robert J.
