“Among the waves they dwell, elusive as the dreams they inspire.”

Mermaids

In the deep, where sunlight dares not reach,
Mermaids dwell, half-creature, half-dream.
Their tails a symphony of scales,
glistening with the secrets of the sea.

Eyes like the ocean’s depths,
they hold stories older than memory,
tales of shipwrecks and sailors’ wishes,
echoes of whispered lullabies.

They rise with the tide’s gentle sigh,
their songs a haunting melody,
beckoning hearts to the edge of wonder,
where reality meets the edge of myth.

In their embrace, time slows,
moments stretch like silken threads,
binding us to the eternal dance
of waves crashing against the shore.

Mermaids, elusive and enchanting,
forever caught between two worlds,
a testament to the magic we crave,
and the mysteries we dare to believe.
