~Mermaids~

"If you shut your eyes and are a lucky one,
you may see at times a shapeless
pool of lovely pale colours suspended in the darkness;
then if you squeeze your eyes tighter,
the pool begins to take shape, and the colours
become so vivid that with another squeeze
they must go on fire.
But just before they go on fire you see the lagoon.
This is the nearest you ever get to it on the mainland,
just one heavenly moment;
if there could be two moments
you might see the surf and
hear the mermaids singing."
-J.M Barrie, 'Peter and Wendy'
