Painting "Dreams of Atlantis"
As the little mermaid sleeps in the watery depths
of her ocean grotto surrounded by her dreams.
There are the towers
of the mythical city of Atlantis,
guarded by the fiercely powerful
King Neptune himself,
brandishing his trident to ward off
unwelcome visitors to his domain.
She dreams of playful dolphins,
and shell chariots drawn by horses of the sea.
A flotilla of tiny ships,
sail to and fro with their mysterious cargoes.
