Wave of Fantasy

Somewhere far beneath the mystic tide golden fish swim and shy mermaids hide. Magical creatures seen by keen eyes dance with waves tinted by blue of skies. what if, by night, a different tune, upon sea rocks, attended by Lune an old seaman, long beard and long hair plays color-filled notes on silver lyre. It happens each night if waves aren't high the songs begin on evening's sigh softly, then swelling, tinted notes sound, filling night air with beautiful sound. Notes of gold, silver, aqua and green misty droplets of colors unseen heard by ebon skies, notes in night air colors joining sapphire stratosphere. Heard by waves, seen by a seldom few playing tinted notes each night anew. spirit relic from long-ago sea? dweller in ocean's deep mystery. February 9, 2023 for Wave of Fantasy poetry contest by Mystic Rose Rose 3rd Place!

Oh my goodness! How kind of you, Mystic Rose! I originally had sea creatures singing, but didn't like it, and Hemingway's title "Old Man and the Sea" kept calling :) I am so honored. Thank you!

Thanks, Andrea! Don't know where the idea came from. At first, it was going to be animals singing, but this is better...

I believe that you've hit the jackpot with this one, Ann. A real bullseye and a FAVE for me. Thank you, Gershon

Hi Gershon! I really don't know where my tale came from. It's one of those poems that just wrote itself! Thanks for your great comments!

Thanks so much, Lasaad! I really love to write fantasy the most. Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" came to mind, altho I haven't read it, and the old man I wrote about just popped into my mind. It would be nice if the tale was true :)
