***Where the Mermaids Sing 200

            “So I was walking down the Pacific Coast Trail when I heard a soft song that began to vibrate in my ears.

As I approached this spot, the music became so intense I could not move but I listened harder as the steady beat was joined by an ephemeral melody that vibrated deeper and deeper.

When I woke up, I was in a fishing boat with two wide-eyed sailors looking down upon my water slogged face.  I tried to speak but my gills were plugged  ... 

When I opened my eyes I was on a beach, water logged and alone.  I could see two figures pushing the boat out to sea and furtively looking back.  I smiled and sang a new song that day.“

This morning when I woke up, I heard  a remnant of that song drifting through the rain ... it rains a lot here ... so days later, I headed back to that trail and stood at the same spot.  No matter how I strained my ears I could not hear the song just the waves crashing against the shore, almost hypnotic like a deep rumbling purr or bass line penetrating deeper, so melodic, so hypnotic..."
