Lady of the Water

A Maritime Tribute To My Muse

Colleen Millsteed shared a poem called โ€œNo More Meโ€ which was subtitled โ€œItโ€™s Game , Set and Match To Youโ€ which reminded me of the title of a Nic Jones album. Nic Jonesโ€™ masterpiece is โ€œPenguin Eggsโ€ which contains the seafaring lady tale โ€œCanadee-I-Oโ€ which has one of the most beautiful guitar intros ever, which got me to thinking about writing a maritime based tribute to my beautiful Muse.

There is an ocean, where you are the queen

You sail the seas capturing sailors hearts

Water Lady My Elemental Force

Like the maiden of the Luna , Selene

ยง

You are a mermaid, a maiden , a sylph

You are your own woman , controlled by none

Your strength to behold, a bright shining sun

You rule your domain by strength of your will

ยง

Above and below the waves, you rule it all

Your subjects respect and love you tis true

Obey your commands , they follow your call

Countenance of beauty, you will pursue

Lady of Water, Atlantis to Gaul

A queen of forever, her riches are due
