She woke in the evening
As if in a dream
She walked to the shoreline feeling otherworldly
Contented in all it seemed
She began to spin around and round
Arms waving in the air
An enchanted hypnotism began
And she stripped her clothes until bare
She began to hear a melody
Dancing over the water
A feeling of peace and recognition returning
She was poseidon's daughter
She walked into the waves
Feeling like she possessed them
As gills opened up in her neck
Daddy awaited his beautiful gem
