If you glimpsed a mermaid out of water stranded beyond the waves, what would be your response? Would you trust your eyes or dismiss the vision as illusion?
This evocative poem examines such an otherworldly encounter, where imagination blurs the boundary between possible and impossible. A moment suspended between reality and fantasy, leaving the reader to wonder which realm they truly inhabit.
I saw a mermaid at the beach
She seemed so near, just within my reach
The closer I moved she was much farther still
Am I dreaming this scene against my will?
For I would not frighten a mermaid away
No, instead her fears I would allay
So we could meet halfway just as the sea touches the sky
And form new horizons as each day goes by
