The sand is fine
A land so devine
Waters are cool
Hazy and blue
The sea shells flip
Ship lights are lit
Mysterious coves
Upon the sea she rose
Lighthouse beacon
The rocks shes seeking
A recluse of the ocean
A stranger in a prism
Welcomed by reefs
Reaching the shallows with ease
Fish scatter
The beach a platter
Swam in from distant fog
Arms rested on a log
The stars are bright
Guides of the night
The surf so restless
She is breathless
Spears await
A gasp, it's too late
Blood in the waters
She escapes the robbers
Her dignity gone
The waves roll
She returns to the depths
Clinging to the secret she kept
Alive but afraid
She is the mermaid
