The pressure to just be, was more than she could take
Was more than she could bear, more than she could stand, more than she could tolerate.
Above dreary waves she dreamed of being, of feeling, of loving most of all
Giving up a piece of her sou; I can feel the yearning in her glance, the pierce of her gaze
“Dear Universe,” She must dream, “My Soul, my heart, my very being is torn from within.
Free me of this prison of not so happenstance; let me go and let me free.”
The ancient metal key she wore around her neck, purposefully hidden there in the beautiful strands of her hair and other jewelry,
Was more than just the precious thing it stood to for her; a world lost forever to her, but also a pining love that is eternally lost but not quite forgotten.
“Or forever keep me here; a sculpted figure of brass, a mere treasure now
Only a keepsake, a flash of something once grand and majestic
Something of such happenstance.”
So like this mermaid we must always try to be; filled with the courage of living hope that thrives there waiting under the sea
Dear Universe, We pray, give us the strength to love as freely and as deeply as she.
Just as she, the little mermaid under the sea, willing to give up all to gain the love of her dreams
To sacrifice all, to fulfill her destiny, she swam waters unknown
May that we find the same end of fountains fulfilled and waters traversed.
