From the empty sand, once again rises
a magical world
of psyche’s creation.
Mermaids sit around a mirror-pond in
glorious sisterhood, their
imagined conversation simple but deep.
Purple crystal glows brightly in the center,
sends feelings both ephemeral and eternal
into and between each of their hearts
as they sit, eyes closed:
love their only language,
beauty their forever home.
