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
