Beyond the blue

One dark, stormy night 

A youth steered 

Off-course at sea.

In vain he tried all his might

But forever lost, was he.

As morning came

A nubile nymph 

Riding the surf

Saw the golden lad unconscious 

In a boat adrift mid-sea.

The gentle nymph silenced the winds, 

Broke the waves

And carried him

Under the seven seas.

The lad opened his eyes and gazed in wonder 

At the beguiling sight. 

An iridescent, ultramarine world

More beautiful than any he had seen,

A nymph with midnight blue eyes

Tenderly holding him.

'Where am I?' he whispered. 

'Atlantis', said she.

'The magnificent lost city 

Under the sea'.
