Naiad

Tarja Turunen

She hears the distant soft caress
there in the gloom
Colours surround with tendreness
guiding her throught.

In the forgotten sweet abyss
another sound.
Twilight floating memories
always without.

Gloaming there
above the surface
an ilusion reaching down for me.
What lies beneath
beyond the ocean´s door
tranquil is the kiss
of the azure rising deep
sleeping ever more.

Naiad´s mystery
what lies beneath.
Guarding their immortality
Saints in the sand.
Stranger than beautiful eerie
an ancient land
circle of sixteen turned to stone
and still they keep
shimmering crystal promises
one space between.
Breathing the newborn waves
Kneeting for the sea she became.
