Mythical

I once wrote of lovely mermaid's song, many years ago, yet still I long to hear her haunting voice once again, music of waves never reaching end. Days I walk a lonely beach once more searching for her on a distant shore. Perhaps you're given only one chance to capture a mermaid in your glance. She was so lovely, I could but stare as she braided sunbeams in her hair. A gentle song she sang to the waves. Perhaps they too had become her slaves. Her vassal I could most proudly be but, alas, she has no need of me. I feel it useless, yet still I long for a single note of mermaid's song. Fables are spun of creatures like she an enigma dwelling in the sea. You may think my tale impossible, truthfully, it's mythological!

I love them, too. So, I pretend they exist but are very good at hiding. :)
