They were neither
Sirens not mermaids
Driving ships off course
And there was no
Song of destruction
Men went mad
And lost their way
And travelers found a story
To blame
But the mystic
Was not there –
The loss
And the wandering
Were their own
Women sat upon the rocks
A force to themselves
Never exerting
That power to destroy
Simply content
In the freedom
To be ~ Caroline A. Slee
