Mermaid and Merman

-inspired by poetic words of Arlene Longson

We are pronounced Mermaid and Merman!

The skies, the stars and seas are there in sand
For God ordained a joining by the sea
God's choice mermaid has found a loving man
And now they joy in purest ecstasy.

Do you take this sweet mermaid for your wife
To swim with her through storms and sunny skies?
Dance all waves of happiness, storms and strife
Forever in her love with perfect highs?

I do.

Do you accept this man to swim within
Forever writing loving poetry
The two of you together fin and fin
In God and in each other by the sea?

I do.

Go forth in Love and Truth forevermore
Find happiness beyond all pretty dreams
And as you swim together by your shore
In God you're sewed as One in Spirit seams,

No earthly laws will haunt you as you be
So love in freedom; defy gravity!

We are pronounced Mermaid and Merman!

Thank you, floria. It was written for a dear poetess friend who lives on the sea and sometimes writes poetry with me. We are philosophically very close and share lots of spiritual ideas. Here, mermaid is a metaphor for God's Spirit in woman, loving God's Spirit in man. The marraige is Salvation.

Thank you sweet Noah for your lavish praise. I knew that you would like a mermaid poem and I was thinking about you, too, when I penned it. Glad you like it.
