Atlantis!

Come to Atlantis with me
He asked with husky breath
Swim with me beneath colbalt waves
Explore the deepest depths

We shall swim with the dolphins
Listen to their mystical songs
Cavort with killer whales
As we swim swiftly along

Walking hand in hand
We step into the briny sea
Foamy waves lapping at our ankles
Our souls were being set free

A quickly drawn breath
Lungs gathering life-giving air
Plunging beneath crashing waves
Leaving behind worries and cares

A world of fantasy
Is there for us to behold
In silent eerieness
Of blues, greens and gold

On and on we travel
Through the tangled jungle of seaweed
Never needing to take another breath
Ranging further from land bound need

To a region unknown to fettered man
A forgetfulness of the pains
To floating mystical dreams
Love is the only thing that remains

As our jouney nears its end
We're greeted by the sea's beloved
Colorful fish are our entourage
To guide us to what we covet

Entering into the deep blue abyss
Approaching gates of Mother of Pearl
Sea Otters are the guards
To this wonderous underwater world

Coming to rest on abalone shell
So soothing to the feet
I'm captured by the nectar of your love
With a slowness our lips do meet

Merfolk gather with arms open wide
Assuring us no more need we roam
The Sea, ah the Sea, life giver of man
Shall forever in eternity be our home
