Mermaid Island Revisited You may have heard stories or seen movies featuring mermaids in their story lines, but these mermaids were of a different sort, for through island magic they could either be a woman or transform into a mermaid; this transformation took place as they swam within the island lagoon, entering to become a mermaid and exiting the lagoon as a woman, a very lovely woman and that was when the fun would begin. In a few minutes, I would arrive at my destination from far across the sea while my precious mermaid yearns for me, I'm sailing on the sloop named "rendezvous", sailing with a skeleton crew to a secret location only a select few of us knew, this place we call mermaid island, and now, even though I know we are close to where the island should be, before us no island lies, and then in the bay before us a sea of mermaids are swimming right before our eyes, and as we take them in, we look again and the island is where its always been; before us briskly blowing in the breeze, mango, papaya and coconut trees and as if they're welcoming you some stately banyan trees offering shade and comfort on a hot day to men who sail the seven seas; have you ever been to a mermaid celebration, chicken and all kinds of fish, kalua pig, avocado's, papaya, coconuts and juicy mango's, and as evening comes torches are lit and and women and men laugh and play and many dance the night away, as for me, now am with the one that first chose me the first time we kissed under a beautiful banyan tree, and now it is the time for a midnight swim, her smile delicious, her kiss nutricious, as we swim I can't pretend, she sure looks nice in fins. "How do they go from the lagoon to the bay: they seem to go by way of an underwater passageway." JamesLee 4/18/16 |

Loved every morsel of this cleverly written 'reminisce' James, especially this: quote:Aloha! More feelings and fewer words please |
