Andromeda
Ripples of her hair like the Sea,
A stormy ocean kindled in her eyes,
Proud and strong and tall she stands,
But with a will of iron,
Then they crack her, they break her,
And leave her Sea to devour her,
Her lovely merciless Sea,
Then embodied as she sees it by a terrible beast,
Its jaws so strong and rows of teeth so sharp they sever silence itself with their presence,
Then was the half-broken Andromeda saved,
From where she had lain atop a rocky cleft,
By a swift messenger she learns to be called Perseus,
Nay but there passed several years where upon she lay once more,
This time for good, fading as her soul was taken and she witnessed life's last glimpses,
And as she rose above to the heavens and never came down,
Her eyes looked upon the world,
Almost like tiny stars twinkling in the evening sky.
