Through the twinkling mist and lapping waves,
Lies a delicate figure of luminescent glow.
Up, upon a pearly rock in the depths of the cave,
Adorned with the beauty of sea stars, seaweed and selenite
Lounging under the fanciful gaze of the waning moon.
She raised a scaled hand to the timid beams above,
Feeling them caress the glimmering specks of sea salt on her skin.
Barely peering through the opening upward,
The gleaming light cast a syrup rich glaze upon her fiery coral hair,
It cascading down the rocks edge like waves of lava, tamed by soft ripples of the sea as they met.
Opening her mouth, as if to take a breath, an enchanting melody left her throat
Pitch so high yet so airy and elegant,
whimsically sending all around her into a haze of fantastical consciousness.
The melody continued, as the once tranquil waves became a state of hypnosis.
Slowly they rose to meet her, placing gentle, salty kisses in her hair and on her fingertips.
Mesmerised by her song, the sea began to sway and spring along with the tune,
Gracefully rising high above her head, sprinkling droplets onto her face.
The moon watched this romantic show, giving a delicate spotlight to her and the sea.
Just before she ended her song, the waves wanted to gift the mermaid
And diving deep into the midnight water,
Retrieved pale pink sea stars, silk seaweed and sparkling selenite.
