The Song Of The Mermaid

The Song Of The Mermaid

A Poem by Aspiring Angel










 
I play within your fantasy
upon the waves of time.
I have lived for years
within your dreams.
I am a subject
of your rhymes.

Have you ever heard my song
as you walked upon the shore?
Am I really just a pictured wish
or am I something more?

I have sung my songs to you
but no one seems to hear.
For my brothers of the waves,
I must still shed mournful tears.

The dolphins still fly merrily
until they are caught within your nets.
Their freedom, silenced in your trap.
Have you no regrets?

The giants of the oceans depths?
They too, sing mournful songs.
Guard them in your memories
for soon they may be gone.

Am I just a legend
that roams upon the sea?

Perhaps I should be
the stirring of your heart
to speak of what may be?

I ask you please to listen.
Listen for my song.
I sing for my brothers of the sea ...




But I have sung so long!

Beautiful song was the sirens lure. But this song from the mermaid is sweet and kind. I greatly enjoyed the read. I feel sad for the mermaid.
