Mermaids

The embodiments of our dreams King Neptune's lovely daughters We mortals strive to find you real Lusty sirens of the sea blue waters Of face and form you are perfection In your golden hair a seashell gleams Dressed in glistening scales of green Magical perfection, or so it seems With muted voice you bid us follow And in mist and foam you slip away In the depths we find the answer Only in our minds the answers play 5/30/14

Dear Barbara, I love the way you describe "Neptune's daughters." Quite a thought-provoking line. Wouldn't it be wonderful if mermaids existed? As you say, the answer is "only in our minds." Have a great weekend! Love, Carolyn
