"The Soul Mate"

I saw her on the water
When the mist had cleared
And my soul felt a tremor
She was everything they feared.
As we sailed past
She reached her hand out
And to me her eyes cast
Then I knew no doubt.
With my hands on the rail
I touched my last dry surface
When at me she flicked her tail
In this place I had no purpose.
I felt myself fall
And I was finally conscious
When I heard her call
Now I knew the sea was harmless.
In glittering beauty she was next to me
Watching me sink down
Seeing my body adapt to the sea
With her there I would not drown.
And now my tail was matching hers
And she gazed at me with love
I touched her flowing curls
Feeling the bliss of heaven above.
I had to know love's name
When she silenced me with a kiss
And again the tremor shook my frame
I knew the meaning of bliss.
She whispered into my mind
The sound of the ocean's sigh
The name of the beautifully sublime
