On the South Western Coast of Florida
the beautiful Island of
Sanibel
After a long road trip
it felt good to stretch my legs
a walk down the dock
and a look at the busy
harbor
no Mermaids to be seen
On the other side
I found a green bridge
that lead to a magical stream
it creaked as I walked
the water was usual colors of green and yellow
But then I saw them
swimming among the lacy roots
beautiful Mermaids
of greens and lavenders
chasing the spot-light of sunshine
off they swam up the stream
until I could see them
no longer
in the glow of the sunset
a dream of magical
Mermaids
Florida Island Mermaids are in my
