the fiery red haired maiden

she walks beneath the pale moonlight
her fiery red hair flowing in the gentile breeze
the lights from the night, and the mischieviouse fairies
dance along the glossy waters, along the shores of era
the emerald isle in all its grace and splender
does not compare to the
fiery red haired maiden that i have found by the sea
i watched from a far, as she walked
beneath the starie sky, the wind blew softly
through the night, and her silky white gown
ruffled and swayed gentle around her
the nightingale birched high in the trees
above me sang a malevolent, and sad song
the fair maiden seemed troubled by life
as i watched from among the grove of trees
as she stepped gentle into cool crisp waters
As she wadded into the shallow pool
the fairies began to glow and dance around her
as the lake waters grew deeper and deeper
and then as if it were magic from the goddess her self
layers of water began to rise and spiral around her
i watched in amasement as the waters and faires
seemed to dance around her, surrounding her in a cacoon, and close onto her
And with that it was over the lights disapeared
and the water fell back to its calm surface
and the fiery red haired maiden was gone
it was as if she was never there before
there was no sign of the events i had just witnessed
even took place, i stepped from
my covered hiding spot beneath the grove of trees
the maiden was gone, disapeared into the
majestic show of water and lights
and just as i reached the waters edge
the sun broke free of the horizons grip
and rose along the leaving nights sky
and as i watched the golden dawn
spread across the waters crystal surface
unable to look away
and from this roaring majestic beauty
came a siren's song
i looked but there was noone there
i stepped out towards the sea
following the sounds almost mesmerized
as if the siren's song was calling me somewhere
and then from nowhere it happened
and from deep below the surface of the calm water
came the fiery red haired maiden
she leaped high over my head
and i could feel the cool water spray on my face
as she soared above me
the suns rays glistened off her scaily tail
my fiery red haired maiden was nothing more
than a majestic and beautiful mermaid
she swam up to me and reached out her hand
i can hear the siren's call in the distance
drawing me out to its heavenly music
she took my hand and dove deep beneath the surface
i watched as she took me on a majestic journey
of wonder and adventure beneath the sea
when i awoke, i was upon the shore
and all around me was quiet
i could not tell in this early morning hour
wether i had dreamed it all up, or if it were real
i sat there wondering
will i ever see my fiery red haired maiden again
only the goddess knows
but one things for certain
she will always be in my dreams
