Beloved of the Pearl Diver

Fantasy poem

In the depths of the shining blue sea
The diver dives in search of pearls
He passes by the fish and the coral reefs
And admires the beauty and wonders.

He holds a basket in his hand
And a reed in his mouth to breathe
He looks for the big oysters
That hide the jewels in them.

And suddenly he sees something amazing
Like a castle made of gold
He approaches it with curiosity and delight
And feels awe and admiration.

For it is inhabited by a friendly creature
With a dragon's head and a whale's body
It greets him with a warm smile
And invites him to explore the sea

giving him ability to breath underwater.

The diver accepts with gratitude and joy
For he is kind and adventurous
He follows the creature to see its home
And learns more about its way of living.

The creature shows him its glittering gold castle
And welcomes him warmly and generously
He sees in it treasures beyond count or measure
Of gold, silver, diamonds and pearls.

But what amazed him more than all that

Is that he saw in the middle of the castle

A beautiful woman like the moon on a full night

Clothed modestly and beautifully from her head to her feet.

Her eyes were shining like stars in the sky

And he saw in her gaze a gentle kindness

As if she was happy to see him.

He asked her who she was and what her story was

She answered him with a soft and sweet voice

She is the daughter of the great king of the seas

Who ruled over all underwater creatures.

But one day her father passed away peacefully

And left her the castle and his legacy

And she chose to live with this friendly creature

Who was her loyal friend and companion.

But when she saw the kind diver

She felt a new feeling in her heart

She asked him to stay with them for a while

And to share with them his experience of life.

The diver agreed with love and respect

And he decided to stay with them for a while

And he enjoyed their company and hospitality

He learned more about the sea and its secrets

And he taught them about the land and its wonders

He became friends with the friendly creature

Thatwas wise and generous

He became fond of the beautiful woman

Who was gentle and virtuous.

They spent some time together

sharing their stories and dreams

And learnt depth of wisdom together

In the true bond of worthy respect.

But one day the diver realized his true feelings

And he decided to propose to the woman

He told her his intention with a sincere heart

And he asked her to be his wife and partner.

The woman accepted with joy and gratitude

And she gave him her hand and her heart

They asked the friendly creature to bless their union

And he agreed with happiness and honor.

They had a simple and beautiful wedding

And they celebrated with the sea and its inhabitants.

They exchanged vows of love and loyalty

And they kissed with passion and tenderness.

They lived happily as husband and wife in harmony and peace

And they never forgot their origin or their destiny

They were grateful for their fate and their blessings.

But one day the diver remembered his family

Who were waiting for him on the shore

He felt a pang of sadness and guilt

And he decided to visit them with his wife.

He told her his decision with a gentle voice

And he asked her to come with him to the land

He assured her of his love and support

And he promised her a warm welcome from his people.

The woman agreed with love and trust

For she wanted to see his world and his family

They asked the friendly creature to take care of their home

And he agreed with kindness and loyalty.

They packed their belongings and treasures

And they said goodbye to the sea and its inhabitants.

They followed the diver to the surface

And they saw the sun and the sky

They were amazed by the sight and the light

And they felt a new sensation in their hearts

They held each other's hands tightly

And they smiled with hope and happiness

They reached the shore where the diver's family was waiting

And they greeted them with respect and affection

They introduced themselves as his wife from the sea

And they asked them to welcome her warmly

The diver's family was surprised and delighted

And they welcomed her with open arms

They invited them to their home and their village

And they offered them their hospitality and friendship.

The pearl diver returned to his house near the sea

With his beautiful wife from the underwater world

They entered his village of pearl traders

Where they lived among the people

In the pearl traders village,

the diver continued his usual style of living

He searched for the pearls in the sea

And sold them to the merchants.

And his wife helped him in his work

And made his life cheerful and glad.

But in the pearl traders village, there were those who envied them

And hated them for their happiness and love

So they tried to separate them

And planted doubt and fear in their hearts

They said to the pearl diver: Aren't you afraid of losing your wife?

For she is from another world that does not belong to you

Perhaps she betrays you with someone else

Or escapes from you to her deep sea

And they said to his wife: Don't you miss your sea?

For it is your home and your origin and your roots

Perhaps your husband exploits you and enslaves you

Or sells you with the pearls to some rich man

But the pearl diver and his wife did not believe their words

For they loved each other sincerely and faithfully

And they did not allow anyone to shake their trust

Or enter between them discord or strife

So they decided to leave the pearl traders village

And return to their house under the sea surface

Where they could live in peace and freedom

And share with each other joy and sorrow.

They left the pearl traders village on a quiet night

And the parents of the diver bid farewell to them, giving their blessings

and wishing happiness and safety in their lives.

Because they did not care about envious and wicked talks.

The inhabitants of the sea welcomed the pearl diver and his wife

The fishes , dolphins and octopuses showed them care and respect

And escorted them to their palace

Where their faithful creature guardian of their underwater home

Was waiting for them.
