Notes About The Poem

 

Bathe In Liberty

Ariel eyes gaze towards sapphire seas. Mermaids have no purpose in aquariums. Yet so many struggle to escape shallow streams. Sitting upon sandy shores, depth of her emotions, reflect moonlight, gently caressing welcoming waves. Yearning to float free - to wash away her worries, her mind is like a constellation of stars, hiding behind misty vapors. Spiritual sounds summon her home. Melodies of mystical nymphs, liberate her supernal soul, as an infinite power dwells within her. As sand castles wash away, Sea Urchins wash upon the shore, craving to be beside her. Sapphire seas cast a spell. Dimness of the horizons clear, permitting stars to illuminate into her eyes - like a millions pearls placed inside the chambers of her Oyster heart. Letting go, each splash erases the past, cleansing her mind, releasing subliminal chains, swimming in depths, most would drown. Her spirit once stranded upon barren land, now bathes within oceans, not known to man.

Shallow streams are no good for anyone.... And we should never stay, where we do not belong... Thanks Rhona..
