Nerissa Ripley

The heart of a dragon is soft like water
Her soul hard like a raging river
Love that binds her in smoky light
She is the eternal mother born of faith
Will painting a world of color
Hate never opon her lips
Integrity her only fight
Stumbling like everyone else
Is the horse needing to gallop
This part of her is beautiful
She is the wild mother 
Ready to dance with the wind
And when she is calm
She is the mother of the sea
A mermaid of many colors
Love the ocean of a million tears
When only happiness remains.
