A Vixen of the Sea
By Alexandra Berghelm
She is a vixen of the sea
Revealed to those of bravery.
With eyes like emeralds she gazes
And nothing in the world her fazes.
She is a siren and she knows
Her charms are spreading as she goes.
Her singing’s filled with many tunes
As sweet as Sunday afternoons.
The waves are yielding her the way,
Sea-horses are pages for the day,
And she would dare anyone
Who challenged her, the tempest one.
The humble ones she patronizes
Courageous souls get precious prizes,
But when the arrogant ones come
Her rage is hot like blazing sun.
She is a vixen of the sea
Revealed to those of bravery.
She is a daughter of Neptune
And carries powers of the moon.
She shows the way to sailor ships
When lighting strikes and moon eclipse.
She gives asylum to the needy
And teases those who are most greedy.
The play of dolphins her amuses
Her softer laugh is warm, she muses.
Her hair sparkles in the sun
Sea grass turns pearls when she is gone.
Her touch is cool like a fresh source,
She gives herself with no remorse.
Her energy runs through the creatures
Revitalizing their features.
But it’s not easy to reach her
She only comes when pleases her.
Invisible all other times
Or resting in her chamber vines.
And Jupiter brings out her magic
Her beauty—mystic of old legend.
She is a vixen of the sea
Are you the one of bravery?
