Wednesday Night~~
10 days...swimming deep out to sea..I have been asked, "what is a mermaid?" A mermaid is a sensual being..intimately intuned to the swirl of a sunlight wave, the feel of a warm current against her belly, the gentle push of sand and depth against the strength of her undulating tail.
Journeying, that's where i have been. Mermaids don't have mothers, and their fathers are long gone. They travel far, and sing sweetly, and sometimes find themselves in unfamiliar territory,thrown upon wet, salty rocks. They call to others, their own kind for replenishment and mutual acts of kindness, then move on to strangers, to practice their craft of bewitchment, exploration,education, and love. They always leave...wheither they want to or not. They leave behind bewilderment, and fierce lust for life, and longing, and, though it is not their intention, tears... How melodramatic, how sentimental...but, in this world of the practical, the material, how hypnotic a Mermaid is....
What does a mermaid look like? The glamour is always different., be she blonde or fiery red or burnished brown...What sets her apart is her innocent eyes, tempered by a wicked smile. Have no doubt, she will draw you in. Have no doubt, you will love her. And the one that finally keeps her, well, that's the one that got away. Later.
