Mermaid’s Dance

Only a human would ever choose to believe That a mermaid would ever choose to leave Her magical place, At home in the sea.

Man, with his legs Limited only to the beach. Will surf on the edge, For a glimpse of the beat.

But mermaids dance often– To the rhythm of the ocean. Dozens of beautiful half-women Will sing in the water. They’ll sing to the tide! From evening to morning.

Such glorious scales Will gleam from their tails. Dancing amongst themselves To harps, horns and bells. To the thrill of the song, They’ll whistle and rave. But mostly they dance To the feel of the wave.
