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.
