"THE WATER SPRITE"                               

His heart ached, emptiness he felt
Deep was the longing he had within
To have her, to hold her, to feel her touch
The desire so strong to see her once again
 

The night he replayed over in his mind
He had looked up and there she appeared                        
Magically before him, such beauty and grace
Quickly he acted before she disappeared                                                     

Moving closer, he wanted to be sure
Of this his eyes were seeing at the time
Her body clad in seaweed of turquoise and gold
Flaxen hair, sparkling eyes, the view sublime

 

What was before his eyes he could not believe
Where did she come from, could it be the sea?
Mysteriously arriving from the oceans depths,
These were his thoughts, but how could this be?

Never before of the stories he had heard
Did he once ever believe in such tales
Of the lady that lived within the ocean deep
And did swim with the dolphins and great whales

But in that moment, he became a true believer
One could not deny the scene on that night
As a vision of loveliness before him on a rock sat
It was the breathtaking beauty of a water sprite

Her eyes spoke to him, beckoned him to come near
She willed him yet closer with outstretched arms
With a few steps he then took hold of her hands
Pulling him into her world, seductively with her charms


Suddenly the ocean grew angry, it began to churn
Intense, the look of caution in her eyes he did see
And then he knew, what had happened was forbidden
Their worlds entwined, would and could never be

If only he had been able to hold on
Yet the current was terribly strong
The sea was in control that night
Sucking her back in, where she belonged

Still to this place he continues to return
Looking out to the sea, with hopes of one day
On that rock he will find the vision before seen
Of the beautiful water sprite that came his way
