Meliae

While enjoying a walk in the woods

With a heart full of admiration 

A quick movement caught my eye

Some kind of aberration 

A voice then, echoed from the trees 

That kindled a strong passion

More than I had known before 

Deeper than I could fathom

I had to search and find the source 

My soul was so inspired

I ran blindly through the trees

Til too much time transpired 

She was sitting on a mossy limb 

A nymph of gorgeous form

Among daughters born of men 

The likes had not been born 

I found she was a Meliae  

Giving awe when men breath in

The beauty of earth's forests 

They travel on the wind

As we spent some time together 

A feeling filled our hearts

We'd fallen deep in love 

And couldn't bear to be apart

With every passing morning

We mused the time away

But the gods forbade our love

So we both began to pray

In the forest dark foreboding 

My little nymph was gone 

I lost all inspiration 

My heart did not belong 

Wandering through the darkness now

It'd never be the same

The woods turned cold and empty

Since we could not speak again 

Stopping at the water's edge

Where the sounds of waves inspire

A naiad said she had seen her
She had the same desires.  

That night I sought Asteria

The inspiration of the stars 

She vowed to share our feelings

To each other from afar
