Mami Wata

A Mami Wata is a water spirit that lives in the seas and rivers of Africa and beyond.
She is a fantasy creature that has many forms and powers, but often appears as a beautiful woman with a fish tail.
She can bring wealth, love, or misfortune to those who encounter her, depending on her mood and their actions.

She swims in the depths of the ocean blue
Her scales shimmering like pearls and jewels
She sings a song that only few can hear
A song of magic, mystery, and fear

She rises from the waves with a graceful smile
Her eyes are captivating, her hair is wild
She beckons to the sailors with a gentle hand
She offers them a glimpse of a wonderland

She is Mami Wata, the mother of water
She is the lover, the healer, the daughter
She is the goddess, the queen, the siren
She is the blessing, the curse, the lion

She can make you rich with a touch of her fin
She can make you happy with a kiss of her skin
She can make you mad with a glance of her eye
She can make you die with a sigh of goodbye

She is Mami Wata, the water spirit
She is the fantasy, the dream, the limit
She is the beauty, the grace, the power
She is the wonder, the joy, the flower.
