Mermaid



Mermaid’s Song
By
Lisa A.Williams


Echoes-
from sea to stone
ascend to kiss the sky,
ancient muse
earth cannot recall.
 Fins
of forever
sweep the tide
in a dance
 only the free remember.
 Her glistening rises
with the waves
as she breathes
 both sea and sky.
How the jealous land
                                                                       aches for her.

    Loved this. Perfect description of what the land must surely feel about the ocean.

    Just beautiful, Lisa. The land and the sea are quite a pair!! Both need each other and fulfill each other's needs.

    Wonderful emotional equation. Really like the "fins of forever" and several other lines. Soothing imagery, like the sea itself, at times.
