In the quiet of the evening
I heard a swishing sound,
Then a softly muted whisper
At which I turned around.
I gazed out to the ocean
And this I tell is no yarn.
I saw a mermaid nursing
A babe she held in her arms.
Intent upon her duty
Beneath the pale moon light.
I moved a little closer
To see this intriguing sight.
Such a vision of sweetness
That leaves me to believe
In certain realms of fantasy
Alive in the deep blue sea.
When she tenderly embraced the baby.
It was love that made me sigh
Her eyes then searched me deeply
Where my soul could tell no lies.
Then filling me with kindness
As her thoughts flooded my mind
Sharing her awesome visions
Her secrets now are mine.
