Tropical Paintings by C P Wyatt

After growing up in Miami Florida I lived for a number of years in Richmond Virginia. It was there where I raised my son and earned my B.F.A. in Painting and Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Fine Art. Later, I returned to South Florida where I work full time on my art.

More updates coming soon!

In A Mermaids Dream

It was once believed in a dream once lived
that a mermaids life was a dream
instead
it came to pass that one mermaid did
open the door to a life instead.
The mermaids dream was to live by the song
that lived in the mermaids heart for so long.

The mermaid sings to the hearts that hear.
Can you hear? The mermaids dream is near!
The mermaid speaks with words of poets now
and calls to the hearts that are there to bow.
Cant you see that the dream of a mermaid is
to live the life of a dream instead?

The diamond skies and the dark wet night
is the place where the mermaid hearts delight
The mermaid hangs the moon once more
and sings to the those that gather lore.
For its in the lore that the dream does live
for the mermaid and for the hearts that give.
The mermaids gift to the ones that will
is to know that the mermaid lives on and still
she travels through time on and on
singing her mermaid dream like song.

So if you go to the mermaids shore and listen
while the mermaid night and the diamonds glisten
you may hear the song of the mermaids heart
to open your dream and light up your dark.
