outside it was pouring rain.
while i stirred my tea,
i thought i saw within the teacup
about a dozen tiny&nbsp;colorful fishes
and i eagerly looked again
i feel strange
i think ill take a bath
i put flowers all around the tub
took my favorite book
and rolled me up some grass
with everything&nbsp;ready
i took a step into the warm water
and sort of slipped and splashed into the tub
but before i could even find my lighter
i looked down and panicked as i saw
instead of legs
a seacreature&nbsp;tail
and a fin for feet?????
i had heard all the stories
and sometimes
at the beach,
underwater,
i thought i heard voices
beautiful singing voices
but never really thought twice about them
until today
until right now...
what is this? what does this mean? what do i do?!!
i look at the upper half of my body,
its still there.
so...mermaid?! are you kidding me?
'i think someone might have spiked my tea with magic mushrooms...'
no but... i was all alone.
i spark up to calm down
...
an urge to leave
a yearning to find the sea

when suddenly
three fairies
came in through the bathroom window
one blond, one red haired and one with dark black hair

they said to me
dont&nbsp;panic
you need&nbsp;&nbsp;to read your card

first, we must pick a pink rose
"where?" i thought, how?
there will be a rainbow and
in a few minutes
is when the sky turns pink

over this rainbow, behind that hill
bring the rose to an ancient couple on the hill

but i have a tail! i finally cried...
we will fly you over the rainbow, they replied,
and you can swim down it

really? i really think i might have unknowingly had mushrooms for breakfast,
or maybe i was just sleeping...

but still
they carried me away
wrapped in a black cloak
discretely flying over the silent hills
where i saw the rainbow

i didnt&nbsp;even have time to say goodbye
the rain had stopped

next thing i knew, i was gliding down a wide rainbow
i&nbsp;don't know how or why,
but it was perfect for swimming
i landed
in the ocean
pink,&nbsp;golden and blue horizon
nearby,
were rocks
i swam closer,
and held on to the branches of the lavender flowers
behind it, a misplaced rosebush hid
with the most beautiful baby pink rose buds.
i couldn't bring myself to pick one, to remove it from its bed
when suddenly i noticed the most perfect fallen flower,
that seemed to have died just then,
still imaculate,
just in time for me to find

i&nbsp;looked briefly at the stunning view,
and swam.

growing tired, i paused
and unclenched the now shriveled and soaked rose from my hand...
when i&nbsp;noticed, a little far off the shore
a couple
a man in a pink blouse
and a woman in a dark black cloak...
walking up the stones;
now looking back down on me
they waved me to come up with them
i timidly raised my fins
they looked at each other
and with the bat of an eye
turned into two black Jaguars running down the hill towards the shore

strangely, i felt no fear
at&nbsp;first, up close,
they looked&nbsp;at&nbsp;me
as Jaguars
the female ate the rose
the male licked my tailfin,
gently
they nudged me to crawl on my hands and... fins
pointing towards a new direction
i somehow understood and followed

when i saw a crystal pink lake
he dipped his paw into the lake
turned into a lizard
she took a dive and shredded apart into hundred of pieces
which slowly became jellyfish
the lizard entered slowly into the lake
so strange...
and my fish tail was unconsciously&nbsp;urging me to go inside

i heard a singing voice
"come find me"
and i thought
good bye reality

underwater
the jellyfish shone like crystal, quartzes of all colors
i swam around in awe

all of a sudden i need breath
as i raised up for air
the couple
had already turned into a pair of rabbits
staring at me alertly at the edge of the lake...

blueish pink waves were nearing in

this time i found a randomly placed pink cactus
with no spikes
so&nbsp;i gave it to the bunnies

they ate
and became jim and pam again

they told me to pick three cards out of the pink deck
"the fool, the magician, the high priestess".

and they asked...
will you rest a while?
or will you continue?

i couldn't answer.
but before i closed my tired eyes,
i saw a flash of pink lightning

then came the voice:
"i need you to know
i am not working against you.
whether you see it or not
my love is here
there and always everywhere.
i am the source of your life and all life"

i was now
aware but unreactive

the couple rested a pink rose on my heart,
laid crystals and quartzes and small white flowers around it
as a mandala...
in the background a rhythmic mantra...
the music would turn into a hypnotic river of sound

i didn't sleep
i didn't wake
it wasn't a dream
it was a shift

maybe a portal
a different realm

i just opened my eyes
i was in my pink bed now
my pink sheets, soft pillows and eiderdown...
only a pair of legs when i looked down
