The Curls Of The Amphitrite

Beneath the surface does Amphitrite play,

wife of Poseidon and queen goddess of the sea,

who spends her time with the other Nereides

they sometimes ride the backs of purposes

when their beautiful appears like a young maiden.

 

She weaves her nymph spells

upon the tides and crests,

ever watching for those mariners in distress

to still their cries for help

then spreading her briny powers

over the waters with her touch,

which gives the creatures

of the deep their life.

 

It the curls her hands stir a salty magic,

so the surf and foam might have such allure

upon the souls on land

who see that waving enchantment

cascades with its swaying charms

before it crashes over the heart.

 

Oh mortals oft can hear her serenade

while standing on the beach,

those seashell notes just so overpowering

for many who must sail out to find

the singer of that mesmerizing melody.
