Riding on wild rainbows that gallop toward the sun, trailed by a flock of frolicking faeries who give chase with saurian smiles. Utterly inebriated by sounds of lulling laughter; suddenly stricken with quickening hiccups that tickle congested clouds, who sneeze a blissful breeze that trickles dribbled kisses.

Fluently fluid reflections of the sea below spray waves of awkward excitement; provoking a volatile display of liquid crystal aerials that become the sky’s sparkling eyes. Beneath me, my magical tandem of colorful, random mist abruptly plunges into a steepening descent, causing my stomach to digest my heart; with no promise of probation.

Arrayed in wings of reassurance, fearless faeries flash a crooked grin that fades with haste to be instantaneously replaced by a surge of splashing tension before being submerged by wet suspension. I hold onto hallow breath as my hesitant eyelids slowly fold open; revealing a gorgeous, agaric woman garbed in glinting fins and... a curious expression.

Bound by her inquisitive spell, my breath is held captive for fragile few moments before my lips are quietly awakened by a tender, glowing gentleness that enlightens her approach.

Gracefully placing her mouth over mine, she instigates a silent exchange of rushed secrets in hushed whispers that mingle between tongues to form a single, lasting breath of light. Granted the gift of breathing sea and perpetual propagation, I’m adventitously aware of the miracle that I’ve been blessed with witnessing...

A noble resurrection of this ancient, fainted legend spins a tattered tale of sacrificial faeries and wings in motion, whose flight was taken by surprise and quickly halted by salted waters of an ocean; causing their coveted dust to easily dissolve and erupt. Melting into magic’s concentration of mythic transformation, trading opaline wings for a sequined gown of scales that sparkle like sharpened metal against a sheer, opaque canvas of thin, languid fins softly billowing from her presence; enticingly inviting me to sink within her bloodless embrace. Shallow gills mark the seams and give hidden life to this seductive, underwater siren.

A lone mermaid is born...

Flipping flight inside out and bending it to swim, a tragic fairy drowning spawns the seldom, secret miracle of a mermaid’s fabled birth.
