Sea

There is a share of the ocean which is deep,
dark, cold-no ray of light dares to penetrate
into the abyss-where luminous creatures are
vibrating through eternity…
Countless were the times when the dive was perilous;
But this never stopped the ones who thought
the way was through the sea…

And there were many…

Under the waves-emerging as walls,
foaming from furious winds-there is calmness, serenity.
A world of tranquility and harmony where
mermaids are dancing, creatures beyond good or evil.

Shadows are alive down here;
illusions made of flesh and bone
under the liquid skin.
Veins of energy are hidden beneath…

Alone upon the golden sand lay the naked body of a mermaid…
She is dehydrating slowly waiting for her mate…

He is trying to meet her in time but the waves are getting
stronger
He is fighting his way through an angry sea…

There is a seagull flying in circles above the
seashore…
Shiny droplets of salty water are running down from his beak
to the mermaid’s lips…
Time is unknown to the sea…
