THE SEA NYMPH




I see a nymph
she is the spirit of the sea
she sits by the shore
as she moans over tragedy

She is as fair as the moon
And her hair flowing long
Her eyes sparkling with tears
As she sings a lovely song

Her wings are silvery white
and she wants to fly
BUt then she wonders
can she reach that high?

Can she escape this torture?
Can she really reach that far?
Her song says that she is scared
Cause she has never tread on this path

She wants to escape
she wants to hide
right up in the clouds
coz no ones by her side

How life used to be
with her kith and kin
but now all of em are dead
due to other people's sins


My heart reached out to her
i just cudnt believe
how can my own kind be so thoughtless?
i was struck with greif

Wait!Now Why is she quiet?
why is a chance given again?
isit because we are human?
who are incurable causethey are insane?

Why cant she just lash out at the,
and torture those thoughtless minds
who pollute her and her spirit
so much that she wants to cry?

Was she so troubled
that she coudnt even breathe?
Was she this hurt
that she thought of leaving her sea?

Then i heard a diff song
was it forgiving or full of hope?
but all that i could figure out was that
she had given us yet another long rope

And when she waded back into the sea
the waves reverentially washin her feer
she then gracefully took a leap
and took the path to destiny

Let her live in peace and be pure
let her return to her sea
and this newfound hope of hers
may it never cease


Tell me what would be the sea be
without this gentle spirit
her song still echoes
and burn like a lamp thats lit
