Water Crystal Mermaid

Poem #282 • Surrounded by the silk of the sea

Somewhere out there
sitting in a beanbag chair crumpled from the comforts of many carefree years of use
a young woman waiting to leave home but enjoying it still
imagines the sweeping water and encompassing wind at her back

Picturing herself in a two piece dress with her pleasant waist surrounded by the silk of the sea
her eyes close in delight as she hears the whishing tone of glistening glass bulbs in the sound
the misty embroidery clings to her taut topography and it’s hugging beads wrap her in blue eternity

Crystal bells are ringing
a dream is in the sound
a lady is a silken mermaid
only one wondrous time around

It may not be forever
but it’s a memory that lasts
never take for granted
that which fades into the past
