Le Jardin Azure

"Three fantastical mermaids float above impossible depths of blueness
With mystical living treasures
Amid the warm coursing liquid of life
Intermingling with my boundless, ceaseless imagination
Forming a living dream bonding fantasy and reality
Azure world below with its whimsical delights
Hidden discoveries
The timelessness of the wandering mind"
