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.

Me too that is what caught my eye!

I love the Pagan Mermaid. She had been a friend, kind words and a motivator for us who love the words and the song. The poem is beautiful. The artwork gave life to the poem. Few people can see the real truth. Nature, love and calm is the way. I agree with the ending. We must celebrate the birth of each new day. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Poppy shines this spell binding kind of light and love that seeps deep inside others. She been my friend for awhile and I have had this idea for awhile.

20 years ago I did not do things that disappoint me now. I find beauty in your words that I would not have noticed before.
