the siren's song

The Siren's Song

 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
