      Every
      morning
      at
      five
      I
      wake
      up
      to
      the
      morning
     
     
      star.
      My
      next
      door
      neighbour
     
    

    
     
      the
      ocean
      switches
      on
      constant
      waves,
      music
      to
      my
     
     
      soul.
      My
      daily
      walk
      along
     
    

    
     
      the
      shore,
      my
      hope
      of
      seeing
      a
      mermaid’s
      shadow
     
     
      against
      the
      rising
      sun.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Reason
      for
      living,
      reason
      to
      dream.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Today
      morning
      star
      greets
      me,
      music
      plays
      calmly,
     
     
      gentle
      mist
      accompanies
      my
     
    

    
     
      walk.
      I
      dream
      my
      mermaid
      dancing,
      instead,
      I
      live
     
     
      to
      see.a
      ghostly
      figure,
      a
     
    

    
     
      lady
      who
      twirls
      herself
      on
      the
      floor
      of
      Heaven.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Reason
      for
      living,
      reason
      beyond
      dreams,
      my
      soul
     
     
      smiles.
