Mythical Greek characters can be seen in the sky
Orion, the giant huntsman, draws back his bow
The constellation Cygnus, is said to be Zeus in disguise
Draco, the dragon appears in the big Dipper's glow
The Romans gave us Luna, she lights up the night
Her glow spins stories of passsion and romance
The constellation Hercules, shines its bright light
In the west or the east you may see Venus by chance
Aquarius, the water bearer, inspired a song
Perseus, who slew Medusa, is seen on high
His wife, princess Andromeda, is among the celestial throng
As Pegasus, who carried thunder for Zeus, spread his wings to fly!

“Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.”
? Robert E. Howard, The Complete Chronicles of Conan
At times when stressed
I take myself a walk beside the sea
I step into a ‘dreamlike’ world
where I’m the only one ~ just me
The sea she feeds me energy
and lifts my spirits high
Her power is phenomenal
So on this ‘hazy’ summer’s day
a sea fret doth approach
‘Shadowy’ mists surrounding me
I cannot see it feels ‘unreal’
But wait I hear a distant voice
calling out my name
an ephemeral transient tone hath she
‘tis beginning to feel ‘surreal’
As she beckons me towards the sea
this mermaid is she ‘imaginary’
I am drawn to her ~ I feel ‘trancelike’
her golden aura ‘ethereal’
as she takes my hand we cross the sand
and slowly descend
to a place I call friend
it’s Atlantis
my spiritual home
a place I know
a place I go
inside my head
when filled with dread
It calms my soul
It stills my heart
Without her there is no escape
When all around no love just hate
She comforts me and keeps me sane
and welcomes me home time and again
Atlantis is my Shangri La
A magical mythical land afar
Beneath the sea I yearn to be
I’m Pisces ~ dreamy ~ spiritual ~ you see
I return to the sea when she beckons me…

Truth Behind Myth: Mermaid
Life started in sea.
Evolution yielded varieties of fish
Evolution went on natural selection
Fantastic species evolved.
Fish with tail, raised human head,
Above waist human,
below waist shiny scaly fish tail
swam propelling hands.
Male version Merman and female Mermaid came.
Not at all Mythical, but actually Ancestral.
Ages were passing.
Evolution ran through ages
Tail was transformed to legs
First male child born to Merman-Mermaid couple.
named ‘Adam’
Baby girl born to second couple.
called as 'Eve'.
Children swam at sea.
Both walked and played on sea shore.
First Man and Woman Adam- Eve: Couple

They set up beautiful Eden Garden set.
Once Eve plucked one apple and ate half.
She hid behind tree.
Adam took rest half.
Both attained wisdom.
Eve started wearing leaf string with clams and pearls.
Adam put a twig.

A Mythical Creature Contest by Julia Ward
life ~ a marine carousel of soul-cracks
an odyssey of thorns and memories,
a reverie
of regrets and roses.
and I a mere spectator
of my own circus~
I reminisce
lost in the eyes of bleeding skies,
tracing colors within
the celestial
casket of cryptic lies,
emanating funeral embers
of deceased innocence,
blanketed in buried trauma,
six feet beneath
familiar footsteps
that stomped butterfly blossoms,
oblivious to the suppressed cries
leaving an ache
between
suffocating ribs…
but will saccharine stars
ever reveal
stories left unsaid,
as every cocktail I sipped
was but a
wistful concoction of chaos…
O beloved moon,
forgive the dreariness of
the deadliest midnight
mirroring grief
like a paradox
of paralyzed peonies…
I’ve long been a victim
of soulless ghosts,
sold to the scorching gold
that the narcissistic sun
served on sinister platters~
as if I were not human,
as if k a r m a slept in
the arms of mythical tales….
yet I am all that the
cold fangs of destiny
failed to unravel
I am k i n d n e s s,
awaiting kaleidoscopic rain.
I am l o v e ,
longing to lace
lakes of hurt with light…
I am p e a c e,
painting pages of loneliness
with perfumed prose.
I am h o p e ,
delicate yet unbreakable.
I am t i m e ,
fleeting and untamable.
so if tomorrow
I forget syllables of serenity
to embellish
introspective i n k
with whimsical wisps of wisdom
and redolent runes of resilience
remember
I refuse to
drown in
delusions
and despair
for I will swim
against treacherous tides
facing satanic seas
in falcon fortitude~
a maternal mermaid
s u r f i n g away
from mundane misery,
as I taste the tender sparks
of turquoise
tomorrows
amidst the seething storms,
veiling the saffron
between
softened streaks
of dulcet dusks...
Once upon a dream!
I lifted my head,
the cool summer breeze brushing past me, the tranquil sun gleaming above.
Tall, immense mountains reaching the sky, covered in grass rather than snow,
The sky lit up.
Beautiful, unique glamorous birds soaring high, dropping their white and fluffy feathers on the ground.
I stood up gracefully and turned around,
only to see glamorous trees swaying, welcoming me into its wonders.
As I walked along,
I noticed something peculiar about them, so I took closer and deeper insight into it.
As soon as I took a step closer a mythical creature swung past me.
It had glass-like, transparent crystal wings that fluttered elegantly, as well as a glistening dress flowing in the breeze.
I noticed thousands of them flying around me in multitudes, keeping me staring and gazing in awe.
I noticed something sparkling in the distance.
1 look up,
an exquisite, ice palace stands in front of me, surrounded by mesmerising icicles, and spectacular diamonds. wondrous.
The brightness caused my head to spin.
My eyes were overwhelmed and engulfed in the beauty.
I rubbed it vigorously.
I forced open my eyes, finding myself in my room, thinking it was an exceptional dream, Until...
I saw that same extraordinary creature flying out my window!
Upon the atheist rests the weighty task
To show all knowledge stands on mortal ground
Can nature’s uniformity unmask
Or logic’s laws in reason’s courts be found?
And absent from God, such footing seems unsure
For concepts fade, absolutes ‘came obscure
Now, Santa Claus, in a cheerful mythical fray
Will liken faith in God to flights on a sleigh
But transcendental truth is not a game
Nor matter or motion, or bound to a Yuletide frame
God’s attributes no creature may possess
Omniscience alone is God’s mindset
Thus, by what is revealed, we clearly see
Reality conforms to His decree
Santa’s lore can’t rival what is afore told
For only God holds wisdom’s keys of old
So, in this search for truth, let hearts be wise
No creature takes God’s place because God decries
Our bubble of life in this vast Universe
A planet so dear, Natures from birth
She really is all that we know
But we know there are others
As our telescopes show
Named after Mythical gods, from our Human past
But these names will be known as long as we last
These gas giants and the terrestrials
Will become street talk in future juveniles
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Lets visit the above in space like cars
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus - Neptune
Before we go, lets stop off at the moon
The daddy of them all
The mother off all planets
The daughter has lost
The Sun has won it
How can it be, that this tremendous glow
Never strikes, or never goes slow
What will we do when she tires out
If you have the answer, please give me a shout
So remember, hey future when we pass them in cars
Their more important than us, they are the Stars
They are there for a reason, we just have not reached
But ancestors of our past, they did so preach.
In Bethlehem's manger, a humble abode,
A savior was born, the son of our God.
No sleigh bells, no reindeer, just a star shining bright,
Guiding the wise men through the tranquil night.
A babe in a stable, no grandeur or gold,
Yet His story through ages, a timeless unfold.
Not Santa with his beard of snowy white,
But Jesus, born beneath the starry light.
No beard of white, no gifts in a sack,
But a promise of salvation, no myth, just a fact.
A promise fulfilled, a Savior's embrace,
To redeem us all, bringing love and grace.
No chimneys to climb or stockings to fill,
Yet hearts overflow with the joy he instills.
In the stable's warmth, a miracle unfolds,
As the greatest story of salvation is told.
Parents, let truth be the gift you bestow,
No need for tales that in falsehood grow.
For Christmas is more than a mythical tale,
It's the miracle of love that will never pale.
A narrative profound, with unmatched worth.
No need for pretense, for the truth is divine,
In the heart of Christmas, let God's love shine.
As we gather 'round with loved ones so dear,
Remember the reason, the message is crystal clear.
Christmas is not about a man named santa,
But the miracle of God's redemptive plan.
Awesome Pegasus appears in the Northern Hemisphere
as a beautiful winged horse that Greek gods adored;
what Ptolemy saw was something he wanted to share.
When he discovered it, he gladly gave it a horse's name:
nothing else came to his mythical mind other than that;
imagine him staring at it and drawing its stirring image!
Stand beneath it on the longest night of summer,
its tiny stars dazzle more than white diamonds;
it's the perfect night for lovers to breathe warm air!
I happen to spot Pegasus while searching for answers,
how this breathtaking universe came to be from nothing;
it hypnotized me with its twinkles if they were dancers!

Candescent Mermaid Myth
Aquatic manifestation of magnificence, with a fishtail
Awe-inspiring, and alluring, all men on deck are mystified and adoring
Embraced by disbelief, while enchanted by
The fairytale fantasy from the deep
A treasure so precious and rare, all the gods of the sea wouldn't dare.
Yet there the elegant essence abounds, as this she thing,
this flawless and flowing beautification is an entity, not of this reality
The something of never, that all throughout time
Was hoped to be forevermore, so hear the bells chime.
Precocious and demure yet with long wild flowing waves of hair
She arose ethereal, seemingly directly up from the seafoam
Hypnotic and enigmatic - illustrious and illusionary
Regardless of her enthralling beauty, disquiet, and oceanic wiles
Embraced the realm of real, of which all there could feel
This was an iconic moment, that which was what everyone was experiencing.
One and all, the magnitude was as such that the fact of a MERMAID
Amongst us, was just too much
Regardless of the actual visualization of a creature so mythical
So magical, so obscure, and candescent
FREEZEFRAME a portrait in time
Mermaids aren't real, half human, half fish, come on, not in this sit'ch
So put that thought to sleep, and you guys stay on the boat
And forget what you thought you'd seen
You're just having a Poe moment of a "Dream within A Dream."
Now what do you say we go ask the Mistress Mermaid
If she wants to get an ice-cream
