Song of the Siren

listen to the whispers of the sea

My fingertips touch the edge of the horizon

As I feel the sea foam washing over my feet

Softly, it melts the sand underneath

And draws me in to the sight of the sea

The mind wanders among thoughts from before

Seeking to remove an unbearable weight

Even stumbling upon trenches, unexplored

With the current that carries an unknown fate

Plunging into the depths of the rough waters

The song of an alluring voice can be heard

With warmth and adoration found in each verse

It guides me as though I'm a sheep to the shepherd

Through the vastness enveloped in darkness

The lost soul spirals further from awareness

Within this dream, I am already under a spell

As a child held captive, locked in my own cell

As the blue fades to black and finally a blood red

I realize I am alone with the voice inside my head

Revealing its true colors as the terrifying shrieks in a piercing tone

The once angelic singing was never leading me home

Searching for the silence that will deafen the noise

I cup my hands on my ears to find the eye of the storm

Find the waves that will help me drift back to shore

Turn the tides of fate and save my life once more

Waking up to the sound of the waves crashing by the rocks

The slight bit of fantasy I held suddenly turns to dust

Swept away by the gentle breeze, a gift from the sea

While the sun flushes out the shadows with its radiant beams

Despite the fear carved in my heart

There is a voice I long to hear

Forever etched and sealed in my memory

Is the song from a daughter of the sea
