Poem -

Lost at sea

Lost at sea

We are drawn to the sea
Like the tides to the moon

Tethered by some silvery Thread 

 

Back and forth go we

Compelled by the Sirens tune

'Return, return' she sings

As back to the sea we are led 

 

Our salty tears add to the Swell

Gulls cry above translucent Waves

'Turn back' they say

'All is not well

You are going to your grave!' 

 

An intermittent lighthouse Beam

Reminds us of land and home

Illuminating our trance like Dream 

And the hypnotic eb and flow 

 

Of tides that wish to take us Yet

On mighty crescents of Thunder

Washed down to deep and Inky depths

To claim us like Pirate's Plunder

 

Sinking ever further there

A violent beauty glows

To trick us to her deadly lair

Amidst the sailors bones 

 

Unearthly pleasure, this song So sweet

Odysseus resist the call

For to listen is to surely meet

The death and loss of all

 

Sunken wrecks a prison make

For victims of the Siren

Of which there can be no Escape

No one will hear them crying

 

So remember on that  sunny Day

When calm and soothing tides

Seem harmless, or that murky Cave

entices you inside 

 

Keep your wits and listen now

This warning I give to thee

Beware the enchanting Siren's call

Or be forever lost at sea.
