Do you wish to hear
the siren’s song?
What are you willing to give to her,
to sing her song for you?
Where will you seek her,
the mermaid of your heart?
What sea will you sail
to find her?
You can hear the echo
of her whisper
in the shells along the shore
but she is not there
You can glimpse the shining
of her eyes
in the stars above the waves
but she is not there
To what depths will you dive
to lose yourself in her embrace?
The sea she dwells in is
your heart
What you must give her is
your self
Then she will sing her song
for you
And keep you with her always
