Corpulent Mermaid

She has the wisest lap in the whole blue sea, sending love round about. Drifters, sailors, and those who fall overboard readily seek her out We never knew her name, but her corpulent figure is mighty and fine. She has garnered an excellent reputation for helping all over time. I have heard that she is the best listener in any ocean on this earth. Her empathetic eyes and understanding ways surpassing her girth.

The name drew me to this poem Caren, I thought was going to be something about a beached whale, but couldn’t be further from the truth, comfort and wisdom does not have a shape or size, it’s a rare find, you have found it within yourself, or yourselves, ha I’m still convinced there is more than one of you, omnipresence, cheers David
