A water nymph
A modern-day water nymph are you…
Fitted in your tracks
Sitting on the rocks,
Surveying your surreal expanse
That flows blithely beside you in a dance.
So fluid and graceful are you…
Here you sit on the banks
And there you morph with the ranks
Worshipping the gentle waters
Divining their tranquillity for your inner altars.
Gracefully swimming with the flow,
The ancient songs flowing in your veins,
Burbling with the mystical knowledge,
Of nature's beauty and eternity
At one with the divine forces.
Naiad,
With such grace you preside over the corporate
waters,
Often swimming gracefully upstream,
Against the current...
Such quiet strength in your long limbs.
Such rigor and discipline in your gentle
disposition.
Tender hearted and compassionate you are,
Melting like the silver moon
In the ripples of the river at night tide,
To encompass all in the benevolence of your
beatitude
Stemming from the infinite wells of your empathy.
With such fluidity you cross the borders
Between personal and professional waters
Bringing to the table, a professional exemplary
Bringing to the home, an unmatched identity
Naiad... you are the modern-day woman!
