Description "There is a place beneath the dark waters, where she dwells still.
In caves and old shipwrecks. Waiting underneath.
Luring sea men with her song.
The great enchantress of the deep blue see.
The mermaid old sailors feared.
And curved upon the prow of their vessel.

There is a place where she slides silently her fish like form. Swaddled in sea weeds.
Collecting perfect sea shells for her hair. Singing her song of old.
Her secrets submerged in the deep.
There is a place where she swims still" - Fanitsa Petrou

An absolute beauty of a painting. I love how one can see Saturn there even though you still get the reading that this is underwater...

Interesting coincidental work here, as I just finished uploading a story about mermaids in orbit with a symbiont spaceship about Saturn called "Mermaids: Invasion."

I really like the shades of blue, the space-themed background, and the shadows on her sleeping face--her face, especially, captures the haunting, spooky mood of the poem. Where is the poem from?
