She moves gracefully beneath the surf,
Cool, crystal waters calm and clear.
The coral was radiant and brilliant,
So alive with every spectrum of color.

Glimmering in the bright sunlight,
As it sparkled through the sea.
The mermaid is a true vision,
Her hair is the color of gold.

White, as porcelain is her skin,
Her beautiful tail is like rainbows.
She twirls and swirls in an underwater ballet.

With out-stretched arms, holding her head back,
The streaming, sparkling rays of sunlight,
Shining on her face and hair.
She is beautiful and wonderfully alive!

The mermaid is a free spirit,
Flowing gracefully with the tide.
Immersed in joy, overflowing with life,
Abundantly happy just to be alive!

The mermaid is a sight to behold,
But she is elusive as a vision.
Only through the innocence of childlike eyes,
Can the mythical mermaid be realized?
Or just a fantasy or dream, or so it seems…
