An Ode to the Sea:

It was long ago,

when I heard the call

Where I would belong,

above else and all

A heart for the Ocean, 

a passion for the Sea

I knew exactly,

where my soul would be free

Not on solid ground,

where aching feet walk

Not in the sky,

where birds squeak and squak

For neither of those,

would make my heart smile

The Ocean alone,

will make life worth while

So free and so fresh,

is the sweet coastal air

Shifting and changing,

i’ll have no other care

Not a soul will realize,

when i leave land behind

For on solid ground only,

most eyes are blind

Still this won’t matter,

i will swim like a seal

Only to prove,

That Mermaids Are Real.
