Found on the beach
Circled with stardust
And a spark in her blood radiating from her eyes
They gathered around her
The naked mermaid
In silence and awe
Hands on mouths,
“Where did she come from?”
Whispering
“The lost city of Atlantis, perhaps”
With golden eyes, she blinked
To all the men and women
Slowly disappearing within the wave
Leaving her stardust behind
And the men and women
In silence and awe
Hands on mouths
Yearning the naked mermaid
Once again
