"The Mermaid Song"

"Once upon a time I was a mermaid you'll hear,
I lived in reigns under the water, the eye can not see.

I filled my soul with the colors of corals,
​I mealted myself in salty seas.

I dressed not, swiming naked I felt free.
My long hairs braided with sea weed.

I swam the deapest waters, I saw treasures you wouldn't belive.
I reached in the heart of the ocean the key to my own fears.

I surfed the waves with dolphins dancing around me.
Living amongst the sea creatures I found love, I found peace.

All this and more I did as a mermaid when I lived in the sea, 
All this and more I still today miss"

​Clara Linares, July 2019.
