Watching Waves
Oceans whisper their whimsical waterfalls
windblown, meandering the shorelines periphery
washing gently on shimmering sea...
oceans whisper their whimsical waterfalls
wrapping, enfolding hues of blue
crashing their whiteness, wrapping sand softly...
oceans whisper their whimsical waterfalls
undulating, weightless when serene
turbulent, riotous restless oft’ daunting...
oceans whisper their whimsical waterfalls
scenic seashells ingrained in sand
tossed, transferred by gentle tides
oceans whisper their whimsical waterfalls...

The Norse mythology of the Wave Maidens:
"The sailors are all eager to establish a good rapport with these beautiful maidens of the oceans because, it is said that if they succeed, they can be assured a safe and uneventful voyage with these powerful goddesses protecting and guiding them. On the other hand, if the sailors fail to gain their approval, they can expect gale winds and a raging tempest that will most likely cause their death at sea. And while it is true that these lovely goddesses prefer fun and positive workings, be assured that they will not hesitate to set upon their enemies with all the fury the seas can possess.
The Wave Maidens are the mothers of the god,Heimdall, and the lovers of Odin. According to the tale, in the course of a walk along the shoreline, Odin beheld the nine beautiful wave maidens as the slept on the white sand. and he married all nine of them at once. In time, they simultaneously gave birth to Heimdall, the White God who stood guard over the entrance of the fortress of the gods."

Nine Wave Maidens Lyrics
Nine wave maidens
Giant beauties
Soundly asleep on Midgard sands
Someone is walking
Hungry eyes gazing
The guard of the sky beholding their pride
Calling the waves
Playing in the shallows
What will they want
A seafarer's heart
Come rain, come shine
The patience never breaking
Oh how they blind a traveler's heart
Atla, Sindur, Egia, Ulfrun
Never profound
Never alone
Heimdall born was he of mother's nine
Heimdall son is he of sisters nine
Calling the waves
Playing in the shallows
What will they want
A seafarer's heart
Come rain, come shine
The patience unbreakable
Oh how they blind a traveler's eye
Calling nine waves
Singing in the shadows
What else do they haunt than a lonely man's heart
Giant beauties
Soundly asleep on Midgard sands
Someone is walking
Hungry eyes gazing
The guard of the sky beholding their pride
Calling the waves
Playing in the shallows
What will they want
A seafarer's heart
Come rain, come shine
The patience never breaking
Oh how they blind a traveler's heart
Atla, Sindur, Egia, Ulfrun
Never profound
Never alone
Heimdall born was he of mother's nine
Heimdall son is he of sisters nine
Calling the waves
Playing in the shallows
What will they want
A seafarer's heart
Come rain, come shine
The patience unbreakable
Oh how they blind a traveler's eye
Calling nine waves
Singing in the shadows
What else do they haunt than a lonely man's heart
"Spirit of the Sea" Blackmore's Night
"Lorelay" Blackmore's Night
