He set the body down,

Giving it to the ocean’s

Cool hands

And watched it

Drowned.

The body sank

Simmered,

Shuttered

As water

Entered its dead corpse,

Filling it with life.

The red rope

Untied,

The brown sack

Released

And the child inhaled.

As she slowly

Fell to the bottom of the ocean,

Her body changed.

She no longer had brown

Mortal hair

But hair as golden as the sun

He loved.

Her legs,

Glued together,

Creating a pastel

Pink fin,

Decorated in pearls

Fueled with the ocean's heart

And

Large eyes

That glimmered

Like diamonds.

She was once again,

Alive.

And he made her

Beautiful.
