At the bottom of the sea,
Where the light touches the sand,
Magic happens—purity—
Giving life to precious pearls. ǀ Fine
Lively mermaids watch in awe
As the pearls are kissed by light,
As they then begin to glow:
Children of the sea they are.
They explore the liquid blue,
As they hopeful dreams collect;
Then return to what is true,
To their home, their place of birth.
They build castles of the sea,
Corals of a vivid pink,
Kingdom of felicity:
Only laughter, love and joy.
Every day, their steps decrease,
Shorter distances they go,
As time passes by and leaves,
As they age: closer to home.
Till one day when they return
From their journey, one last time,
Coming back to what is home,
Having fully lived their lives.
One with pink they then become,
Part of something that’s unique,
Something greater than the sun,
For they are magic and bliss.
Born from magic, light and salt,
Precious pearls caressed by life,
Now as corals and sea foam:
Wonder—cycle of delight.
