The Mermaid and the Orbs

Moonlit dancing sky,

Sharing its moments with the sea,

ripples of water follow the rhythm above,

but hold a big secret right beneath.

small
deteriorating
dark
rough – lovely orbs,

Now plays an innocent melody --

the crashing waves left behind at shore,

The melody leaves behind a treasure of its core.

the orbs nestled in the cooing of the sand,

in sight for both sky and sea.

The stars shimmer,

Towering upon the orbs,

The orbs glisten with dullness,

And the stars outshine them all,

But light is not what the stars are looking for.

Some stars fade behind the crowd,

They all shine but don’t differ in any aspect that can be found,

A relaxing sight for the eyes of a star,

Is what these orbs truly are.

A glistening creature with such dull orbs - the mermaid thought.

While wailing and reaching out to hide the orbs,

Their tail splashes and

disturbs

the harmony of ripples

on the sea's

surface,

reflected onto

the

sky.

When

the orbs –

revealed,

now flawed rhythm left behind.

Splashes of water reach their way up in the sky,

While the mermaid throws a tantrum,

The stars dim their light.

Now restless thoughts

settle gradually,

slowly,

behind the on and off of the

glistening stars of the night.

Why would such beautiful orbs go to hide? - thought the stars

Now left a disturbing melody

left for a siren and the night
