Siren of the Seas

Her currents are         the watercourses

that drive            the gales and rain

her depths      carry the bounties

that man has fished            for gain

 

Her circulations can bring       the tempests

or breezes soft and warm

movements within her waters

generate

the weathers that will form

 

Men have sailed her                for centuries

She's the one they        cannot tame

like the Venti             her passages ceaseless

and her moods                         subject to change

 

Only men experienced    can read her

know what is hidden                from the blind

he can see the storm     approaching

the rogue waves                     he's left behind

 

He knows her ridges                and depressions

and the treasures upon                                her floor

he'll dive deeply             to retrieve them

know when her tides                return to shore

 

Her basin rivers              are conveyors 

which carry           many multitudes of life

to the sea captain           she is known as

his lover                        and his wife
