Shipwreck

Waves claw at the shore
then draw back
whispering for more.
There are no sirens at sea
no guile to set us free

Though the ocean may beg and plead
there are no sirens at sea
hidden amongst the ship’s debris

When our confidence is under attack
nothing need draw us down to the sea floor
we will see ourselves drowned for what we lack

There are no sirens at sea.
