Mystics of the Sea

I want to sit on the beach

Where great waves break but barely touch my bare feet.

I want to imagine great beasts swimming just beyond my shallow reach.

I want to imagine Atlantis where

Mermaid’s dance with the creatures

of the deep.

When I am ready, I want to

walk out to greet them I want to

dance with them in the mystic waters of their realm.

Yes, I want to pass to their realm, and

I hear the songs of the sirens.

Oh, when shall I go?
