A Siren's Serenade

The sun is slowly fading and it’s almost twilight time. The ocean’s strong vibration beckons me to rise from deep. The ship announces its approach, its horn an ocean chime. Waking me from slumber in the ocean where I sleep. I move with lightning speed emerging quickly to the top. The sailors all come out to hear my haunting siren’s song. I swim around the vessel as it slows and then it stops. From that time, and forever, to me they all belong. My lovely iridescent tail will sparkle in the night. I serenade them with my tune while diving in and out. A potpourri of colors that will dazzle and delight. Before too long they will be lost inside my spell, no doubt. I’ll circle all around the ship and mesmerize each one. Then slowly hypnotize each man until the morning sun.
