I trail my fingers through the clear water. Letting the familiarity of the cool caress sooth me.
In one swift motion I dive in, feeling myself becoming one with its soft, rocking movement and flowing current.
I might be far from home but the echoes of my past and future reside here as well as on the coast of my birth.
Let myself be freed of the stifling disguise that suffocates me every day.
They might think they're my friends but they don't know me. If only the rest has survived. Now we are scattered far and few, hoping our lonely siren song is enough to call to one another. So we're not lonely any more.
As I swim, twist, dive and live I sing. An outlet like this cannot be truly complete without the haunting melody of a mermaid. One that is interwoven through all the years of my life.
But I don't want to wallow in my sadness. I just want to savour the time I have. Time for release.
Enjoy the present and be free.
