- A Myth Or Reality -

                               ~ History's greatest riddles - 
             what makes us think we have to understand everything ~ 
                                                                   Quote: by poet

             An evening at the beach,that will never be repeated
             Soft and quiet with luxurious movements
             The Mermaid, a passionate woman
             born half human and half fish

             Her long blond hair washed by the waters of time
             in trembling blue-green waves
             It didn't feel natural for such a time as this

             Who knows what lurks in the depths of the abyss
             Out of undisguised doubt, we choose not to believe
             Truth and honesty, a confirmation of their existence
