The Mermaid.

The Mermaid has long hair...way down her back...that is you.
The mermaid is tall with small hands and feet...and
That is you...
The Mermaid loves the sea....and so do you.
She loves she loves the sea...the sea is part of her
And of you too.

You lie on water every night...your waterbed...it comforts you...envelopes you
Into it’s gentle bouncing hills and flow...
It’s low lush sounds of silent splash so soft and sweet it lulls you into sleep

Your hair like flowered seaweed in long strands upon the sheet

And you , the mermaid...dreaming of the sea...each night
A smile upon your mermaid lips.

To my friend Alice.
