In the misty waves of lore, lies the mermaid as before. Atlantis she guards upon it's gate,to keep those out who's full of hate. The unworthy at the gate they come, to be extinguished by the sun. For those with honor and full of grace, are drawn to this magical place. For their efforts they are well paid, with the mystical stone called blue jade.

That is a huge cab; love the way you have it displayed. I have got to get some of that material to work with. If anyone has some they want to sell or trade send me a PM. I am looking for the Blue Big Sur. I want to try and make a bunch of different looking mermaid tears. I am getting really inspired by all this; ty everyone.

Everyone's writings are wonderful, funny and witty,
Even the one that's a little ditty.
If I could write like Lady B, be funny like Adrian, or a little naughty like Mel,
I wonder what there would be to tell.
Perhahps of the distant cries I hear,
Of everybody wanting the "Mermaids Tear".

OK, here I go. Freeform, not ryhming.
I wait.
I wait for you.
I wait upon this rock, after the tide leaves, and the small creatures gasp for water, and this rock is dry.
So am I.
I wait for you.
I wait in the sunlight. It burns.
I slip into the sea, when the sun is a fiery opal in the sky.
I return when the moon is a cool and comforting mother, and I wait.
I wait, until the sun burns again.
I will wait.
I will wait for you.

Thats some nice looking jade here's my entry I hope you enjoy MERMAIDS TEAR I was diving off Laguna Beach And my air was getting low. When from the corner of my eye, I saw an eerie glow. When I got to where I thought it was, There tangled in some wire Was a shape ; a form; “a mermaid.” And my air would soon expire. She looked at me with mournful eyes, Though she didn’t seem to fear, And underneath her golden hair, Was that glow that drew me near. The wire had cut her near in half, I could tell her end was near. Then she reached and passed that stone to me, As though trusting, without fear. So for many years I kept that stone, The same blue as her eyes, And with the trust she placed in me, I fashioned this awesome prize. So now you know the story, Of that stone I hold so dear. That to you may be a treasure. Though to me it’s a mermaids tear. pporky  |

Nephrite, Nephrite! You are not going to believe this! I was going through some old family photos and I think I found her! I found your Mermaid! I am simply stunned! I had no idea I was so closely related to the fishies! She's really a beauty, don'tcha think?  Lady B |
