Ocean Whispers

At the bottom of the endless ocean

Forever sleeps a pretty maiden

Her heart still, her body without motion

Her timeless face with trouble laden

🌊 🌊 🌊

Lonely, forgotten, forsaken by the world

Her slumber unsolved … was it mishap, was it crime?

Her life ever barred from being unfurled

Her story faded from memory and time

🌊 🌊 🌊

None to tell of her tale

None to weep for her lost smile

None to stroke her cheeks so pale

None to release her from her wet exile

🌊 🌊 🌊

None but me

My words – naught but fading whispers

Rising … falling

Ghostly mumbles behind grey veil

My cool arms – overwhelming strength

Holding … releasing

Caressing her white bones so frail

🌊 🌊 🌊

As bright as a star, as lovely as a flower

She came to be locked up in my watery tower

As clear as the rain at the beginning of time

To find eternal peace and rest in her prime

🌊 🌊 🌊

So hear my whispers and never forget

I am the ocean … mine is the realm that’s dark and wet

I hold her tight now she’s in my keep

Who dares wake her up from everlasting sleep?

🌊 🌊 🌊

Hush now …

In undisturbed slumber she will stay safe

Sweet maiden’s resting in her lonely cold grave

🌊 🌊 🌊

Who remembers what she wore?

Who looks for her on my shores?

Tears, pain, struggles … no more

Naught but oblivion on my unfathomed floor

🌊 🌊 🌊

For …

The only tears that are shed

Are the ones coming from my bed

As I tenderly whisper

My rippled lullaby

🌊 🌊 🌊
