To Leave Melancholy Waters Behind
To Leave Melancholy Waters Behind
Resolutely her heart pounded its glee
she a mere mermaid of romantic seas
in heart of hearts mortal wanting to be
upon solid ground from waters thus free
A princess and to earthen realm thus wed
with that precious dream always in her head.
To leave melancholy waters behind
stroll into humanity, true love find
walking new steps and feel sun's waking glows
feel the beach sands between her newfound toes.
Touch pendulous branches of willow trees
rise to wander the new world as she please.
Admiring land's beauty, Nature's soft views
watch as sun colored skies bluest hues
dance as life and loving were both there found
live as dream by *Prometheus unbound
Wear the flowers of Spring's fragrant romance
searching for her prince not waiting for chance!
Under night skies, slow wafting tidal waves
praying mercy's breath that lonely heart saves
she reaching up to touch that dream aloft
to receive gift of kisses warn and soft
*Poseidon her sincerest prayers had heard
changing her to mortal with single word!
Resolutely her heart pounded its glee
she a mere mermaid of romantic seas
in heart of hearts mortal wanting to be
upon solid ground from waters thus free
A princess and to earthen realm thus wed
with that precious dream always in her head.
