Beware of Mermaids

I can swim through the iciest of waters;
The dolphins hunt with me,
Then we part ways
and feast on our catch;

The vision the land dwellers have amuses me, 
Their picture is hopelessly flawed;
We don't have the tail of a fish,
Just the ability to swim hard and strong;

Our eyes see in the deep dark depths 
Our voices sing with the waves; 
The rhythm of the darkness warns the sailors
'Beware of Mermaids'.
