It was a night of dreams spanning years, it seems before an ambled walk towards disavowal but still in the forest of tangled conspiracy bough and leaf keep at bay complete acquiescence to the light of day. She struggles to the edge and suddenly she’s me, a mermaid on a rock telling sea of all her dreams and watching silently as they float away on the tides of time and of human life. And as the sun rises the heat of no return sends the mermaid diving to the bottom of the sea to swim forever there searching, searching, searching; where are her dreams that one day are meant to be? She knows a dream must hide in the rocks of soul and she goes from nook to cranny a woman on a mission never rising to the surface to breathe in falsity for she can live, you see, in the underworld of dreams close but far away from what the eyes can see. Ask yourself today – are there mermaids in the sea and then you’ll come to know they’re simply you and me in a sea of humanity searching for a dream! Helen / 6 September 2006 |
