Goddess of the Deep

At last I see her; my heart leaps. A mermaid swims and romps. Entranced the stars and fairies look a twinkle in their eyes as I inhale the salty air, in shadows hid from sight. She then emerges from the sea… her skin dripping moonlight. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1. “The night was a garden of eyes.” – The Blue Bouquet An Octavio Paz Line Contest Sponsored by Nette Onclaud Placed 1st © 28th August 2019
