Lady of the Water
A Maritime Tribute To My Muse
Colleen Millsteed shared a poem called “No More Me” which was subtitled “It’s Game , Set and Match To You” which reminded me of the title of a Nic Jones album. Nic Jones’ masterpiece is “Penguin Eggs” which contains the seafaring lady tale “Canadee-I-O” 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
§
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
§
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
