Journey

Chasing Mermaids

Just a bit more,

And I would be there,

In the ocean paradise I had dream

Since my face for the first time gleamed.

Just a little more,

And I would be here,

In the marine heaven I had yearn

Among my experiences I earned.

Just hang in there,

And I would be happy forevermore,

In the aquatic bliss I could not contain

Because of my earthly stains.

Just a step left here,

And I would be joyful forevermore,

In the sea idyll I could not accommodate

Because I was a sinner since my birth date.

Just one more hideous sight right there,

And I would have my freedom forevermore,

In the oceanic ecstasy my heart could not control

Like a sailor that cannot control his own soul.

Just one more ugly truth here,

And I would have my fantasy a reality forevermore,

In the seawater Shangri-La my mind could yell

As my joy rapidly swells.

Just one more thing there,

And I would have achieved nirvana forevermore,

In the saltwater Valhalla my body could explode

From the happiness that cannot be decoded.

Just one more fight here,

And I would have made my reverie a living one forevermore,

In the pelagic Elysium my spirit could break down

From too much delight when I'm reaching the mermaids' town.
