Mermaid Smiled

From pools of xylophone clear

From caves of memory

I saw the children at heart

That we once used to beBorne on foaming seahorse herdCompose with trumpeting shell

From lines across their hands

A song as new as new moon

As old as all the sandsShrank to stagnant from Atlantic wild

Lost that child 'til mermaid smiledSummoned by drum rolling surf

As laughing fish compel

The young boy woken in me

By clanging diving bellBreakers pillow fight the shoreShe wriggles free in the tide

I'm locked in adult land

Back in the mirror she slides

Waving with comb in handI was lucky to remain beguiled

Grown to child since mermaid smiled

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
