Behind the mermaids heart she stood...wondering if she could? She looked and stared...a glance per chance beyond the misty shore For meek and mild is her heart A vision to those...within her dream She prays no tears...for the heart ....forlorn has gathered the shell before In tears that glisten...was the pearl... Now trinket in her hair....that opal cast has caught her eye...beloved was the pearl For inside the oyster within her hand lay open an unafraid...For she stands in beauty and radiance...now naked is her soul As she placed the pearl within her locks...golden were her curls and never more was she afraid For she dances upon the shore ~Camille Chandler 8/31/18
