Peaceful Waters Poem by aleisha luyt

From the ocean
Bubbles a song
It's so pretty
But a little too long.
No human ear can hear it
No mermaid can ever sing
None can appreciate
The joy it would bring.

Tears would glisten
In their eyes
The beautiful melodies
Would make them cry
But no mermaid can sing it
No human can hear
Only the whales catch it
And only if they're near.
It's the sweetest song
Never heard.
But it's sung by all
Even the smallest ocean bird.
Yet no human can hear it
No mermaid can sing
But neither can Triton
The great sea king.
It's familiar to all
Even the unaware.
It's everyone song
The song that shows care.
Still the mermaids can't sing it
The people can't hear
It's because it's just a feeling
Something to hold near.
A piece rests in everyone
In the poorest of us all.
It's what we all need.
It's humanities call.
