luv409 - Mysterious Cosmic Jellyfish

Mysterious Cosmic Jellyfish

you arrive washed out by the sun, covered in salt from sweat and the sea, drifting along the inward journey to your paradise. you followed the call of the mysterious cosmic jellyfish that resides in the center of your own personal Bermuda Triangle, lost between mind, heart and soul. it summoned you so it could impart the wisdom of the deep. open yourself up and let the ancient understanding take you to a dreamy world of fantasy filled with warm sea breezes.
