okayodysseus:Modern Mythology: Amphitrite “Because there’s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it’s sent away.”A modern Amphitrite with salt water veins. There are hurricanes in the spaces between her bones and she can slip through one’s fingers just like the water that envelops her. With eyes as dark as the depths of the ocean and just as ancient, only the fishermen seem to understand that the air that escapes her lungs is the ocean breeze that can be gentle or thunder against their sails, for only she decides who drowns or swims. Some say she is now only seen beneath the surface of the waters just where the sun is able to filter through the waves, her touch pulling victims to shore, even if it was her storm that crashed them, as even hurricanes have their end. The world doesn’t know it is a goddess that strolls through coastal towns with water dripping from her hair, sometimes standing behind a stall, selling supplies or pouring drinks for the fishermen in exchange for another tall tale and with a grin tugging at her lips, she hangs on every word as if it may be the last she will ever know as the sun drowns in the ocean and the night stills the waters. -- source link
