Legend Of A Mermaid Poem - Do You Know Me?


This legend of a mermaid poem teeters on the brink of fact or fiction. Does anyone really know for sure?


After all, facts surrounding the existence of mermaids are as fluid as the sea itself. Until they become crystal clear, wading through the murkiness of uncharted waters will help us draw our own conclusions.


Legend Of A Mermaid Poem


Do You Know Me?


I am from the sea
Do you know me?

Perhaps you think of me as legend or folklore
Stories made up by those who came before
A tale spun throughout the ages
Passed between generations in varying stages
A myth stretching farther than the expanse of the sea
The very reason you no longer recognize me

Do you know me?
I am like you and you are like me
The only difference is that I live in the sea

The qualities that make you what you are
Also exist in me
Uniquely human, uniquely mermaid
The only difference is the sea
