The Deep Dark Sea

The Deep Dark Sea

     Mermaids, goddesses of the sea, envied by all for their beauty and immortality.

Swimming in the vast sea, free, no boundaries, no secrets, no lies…Nevertheless, with such bountiful gifts comes a heavy burden, for a mermaid  has a cold heart, one as cold as the winter sea she so freely and ironically swims in.

A heart that may never know love, a heart that sleeps and cannot feel the warmth of human emotions.

Growing up as children, we often heard fairy tales of mermaids falling in love with humans, at that moment their heart awakens, blood starts pumping in and the warmth fills their bodies.

She so desperately yearns to become human, but few stories actually have been told about humans desiring to be turned into mere people.

“I want my body to be set to sail the seven seas, free, untamed, and unburied”

In a few occasions, the call of the deep blue sea is hard to resist, because there are no secrets under the sea.

If you knew a secret would you tell it?

It is critical if someone is being lied to and you hold within you the answers.

The truth will set you free but you might hurt someone and make everything worst.

Many people would rather live a lie than to accept the truth, for it is too harsh to deal with.

Would you protect them or force them to face their demons?

“They don’t want you to worry about them, they are strong, even if your happiness no longer resides next to them especially that next to them is far away.

After every soul is asleep, the night is embraced, all is silent, the clam sea shields what lies beneath, the silent broken by a wave crashing on the rocky coast.

A shift occurs, the new identity is embraced, for the sea is a traitorous mistress; one whose fury can swallow worlds.

The deep dark sea hides it all, keeping the knowledge to yourself will make you suffer alone in agony masking what lies beneath by a serene surface.

If you pour you heart into this vast sea, how insignificant would it be?

Waves, they come from the deep, carrying you to me. Whatever you may try to hide, the tempest will make it rise.

The fury of the sea has no boundaries, in a fraction of a second it can turn from clear blue and breezy into a raging typhoon.

When humans see the calm surface, they tend to forget that beneath dwells hidden a bottomless pit boiling up.

However, it knows your deepest secrets, insecurities and desires.

The fate of the entire planet depends on the sea, it has too much to care for, yet the wind blows her lover and best friend away.

     Finally, she knows everyone’s secrets, they come to sit on the shore and confide in her. She knows your secrets, yet she fears opening up to you, she fears driving you off the edge of the cliff and into her abyss.
