Pagan Mermaid

A tribute to Poppy Silver

The Pagan mermaid

With hair of shimmering red

Glides toward the shore

Eloquently at ease

 

Wobbly legs slowly stand

Feeling the tiny grains

Slip between pale toes

As moonbeams softly glow

 

Waves crash effortlessly

Upon the midnight sand

As ivory legs twirl

Underneath a starry sky

 

Celebrating the wonders

Of Mother Nature’s magic

In gloriously creating

Majestic beauty beyond the sea

I love the myths... Mermaids of course being one of the most alluring...
Are there Christian mermaids? Maybe a Muslim mermaid? There has to be a Hindu mermaid. hmmm? ha. I could not resist... Imagine a sermon about the virtues of mermaids. Now I would not fall asleep through that!
Thank you for giving me a beautiful thought today and a little humor as well...

I am glad you enjoyed this piece. I wrote it for a fellow writer on here. She has a special energy about her plus she has a love of mermaids.

Sweetheart, I am at a loss for words. This is better than any bought gift, these words are cherished by me, you have a wonderful soul. I am so, so grateful, thank you so much. There are times when you feel less than zero, you know...and the day isn't the best ever, and then, you receive a gift such as this...just amazing...thank you from the depths of my heart ♥

You have this amazing aura that shines a spell binding light of love and acceptance. I have wanted to write a tribute poem to you/about you for awhile and yesterday the words came to mind. I got this visual image of how I wanted the poem to be and this is the scene painted before you. I know you love mermaids and what better way to paint you Poppy. I am so thrilled it lightened up a dark day and that you love this poem.
