Welcome back to White Rose of Avalon, my Darlings. For today’s blog post, I am sharing a poem about catching sight of scales in water!
Shining Scales in the Water
by Maranda Wabik
Scales shine and scales shimmer
Iridescent beauty at a glimmer
The sunlight makes the water sparkle
But that is nothing compared to the shimmer
A tail splashes gaining attention
A sweet and lilting laugh is heard
Oh, yes, I know who is in the water
Stepping closer to the water’s edge
I hear the Siren’s Song begin
A smile graces my face
As I know, this magick is beyond time and space
Oh, there is so much wonder in this place
Walking deeper and deeper into the water
I can feel myself begin to submerge
Delving into a Portal below
And out I come into the Otherworld
Oh, yes, I am in the Water Faery’s Paradise
I am in the Land of the Mermaids
Here I can breathe underwater
Here I have my own Mermaid’s tail
Here I can feel my Soul Glow
When I am in the flow
In the flow with my Mermaid Sisters
I swim to them, and we dance and play
Casting spells of Water Enchantment and Weather Magick
Delighting in the joyful bonds
Oh, yes, the bonds of Mermaid Sisterhood are forever strong!
Sadly, I cannot remain forever here
For there is another world with people I hold dear
A world where I am meant to be a voice
A world where I can teach the Mermaidenly Mysteries
So, I must return, but I can always rejoin my Mermaid Sisters
In the Sacred Waters and in my dreams!

What a magical and immersive poem, Maranda! I love how you transition from the simple, shimmering beauty of scales in the water to a full-blown journey into the Otherworld. The line “I can feel my Soul Glow / When I am in the flow” is especially powerful—it captures that feeling of perfect belonging so beautifully. The bittersweet balance between the enchanted sisterhood and your calling back to this world is deeply touching. Thank you for sharing such a vivid, heartfelt piece—it truly makes the reader want to look closer at the water’s edge. ✨🧜♀️
Thank you so much for your kind words! It is always wonderful to know that my poetry is so emotionally resonate with my readers. The poem truly does show a piece of what it is like to walk (or swim) between the worlds as I work as a Priestess and Enchantress with a Sacred Duty to be a Voice of the Waters and the Mermaids! As always thank you for reading and commenting. 🧜🏻♀️ 💦 🐚
