The essence of a water nymph

let me tell you 

about the essence 

of a water nymph

I sleep, I float 

in a quiet moonlight pond

fragrances of moss and fern 

surround me 

I feel at peace 

I dream so deep

I hold you close to my heart

I’ll never release you

I’m here 

in this quiet moonlight pond

I’m here 

in this forest of fragrances

I can never escape from this pond 

if you follow me 

I’ll disappear

you and me 

were never real

you are free

but this 

is me
