Where mermaids wait

Shivers of expectancy
as the
days grow longer
and the sun beats down warm
on us all.

Today we went to the sea
and there,
we told it our stories ~

every secret,
that we ever held.

We set our shells
at the ocean's edge and watched

as the waves
washed over them
carrying them away
away

down to the cool blue
silent depths

where mermaids wait
with glistening hair
and bracelets
made,

of all the secrets of the world
