Seeing differences
we begin to talk
as one understands
Seeing similarities
in both our hearts
as well as our hands
“Take my hand” she said
“I’ll show you such wonders”
To believe more than ephemeral
was to be one of my blunders
To the depths we went
Oh, the treasures I saw
and the things I heard
I saw a healing siren
singing to the crowd
walking among the cured
The song she sang
opened up a steel door
Reminding me a of place
that I knew from before
I saw such beauty
looking through her eyes
My world gone gray
with no time for the whys
“Believe in butterflies
swimming in the ocean
and the things that come
from a simple wings motion”
“Follow the heart
for the mind can deceive
It’s not in what you think
but what you can believe”
The things that she shared
one never forgets
Heart of a jewel
A sun the never sets
Barely skimming the surface
I thought I knew this place
But I didn’t know
how the heart could race
Every once a blue moon
I still dream
of a time when time ran
When a mermaid beckoned
for my hand
and I was her merman
