I know it was ephemeral.
As the wind passed by so violently,
Letting her raven hair flow with it
The rolling of the waves, crashed and retreated, to the warmth of the sand.
I know it was ephemeral,
The burning sun in the horizon seems so far and distant.
The ocean crying of its woes and dreams to the sky.
I know it was ephemeral.
The ocean’s melodies seems so eternal, but it dissipates as it washes away.
Enchanting and beautiful, but they were not hers.
I know it was ephemeral.
Her silver-gilded sword shining brightly, strong and honorable.
Her strength encompassing her virtue in the armor of life.
I know it was ephemeral.
The promises of the ocean were inviting.
The warrior loved it, but it was not for her taking.
I know it was ephemeral.
Fighting for a battle you can’t win.
A proud warrior lose in her defeat.
I know it was eternal.
The warrior and the promises of the ocean.
