Watery & Outdoor Wednesday | Mysterious Beach




3 Days 2 Nights

A perfect Jogjakarta trip
Stopped by Parangtritis
To feel the breeze
of the mysterious beach

A legend was told
To all; behold
A Queen of the South Sea
Nyai Loro Kidul
THE beautiful nymphs
Or... perhaps a mermaid
part human, and part snake

She, who controls
the ocean, can too take one's soul
Folklore said and seen
Not to wear the colour green
As she, Javanese Spirit Queen
Would say "hello,
how have you been?"
Then you... would never been seen


More story of my Parangtritis trip here.
