MYSTICAL SWIMMER

Undulating ethereal wings dance,
flowing, glowing, hypnotizing
translucent art.
Mind floating, traveling
in time un-happened.
I yearn to meld with it,
yolk of its soul in mine,
feeling a dream, unreal
but clearly tangible,
before my eyes.

Sad truth, sometimes
succumbing to seduction's soft allure
can lead to venomous encounter
with reality's cruel mirage

I absolutely love to watch the hypnotic movements of jelly fish. It is like being inside a live meditation.
Can you see my outline made by the glare in the picture?

  8. If only we could pet the jellyfish. They look so soft. But if they didn't sting, they'd probably get hurt.

  13. Oh beuatiful words Myrna.;) We have thousands of jellyfish here in the Nor Sea and some of them indeed sting. Many of then are beached upon the ebb, hate seeing that, Yes indeed, they are very interesting creatures.;))

  14. Myrna, I love your face super-imposed on the jellyfish. I have a friend who lives in a floathouse in a small bay where sometimes the bay is FILLED with jellyfish!!!!! You would love it. Love your poem. And thanks for your comment on my site. I, too, weep for the animals and the hardships we have caused and continue to cause them. I figured, watching the film, if they could live it, I could bear witness to their suffering. But the image of that lion in his death throes will be with me always. Horrible.
