Great women from art, literature & myth

Take me out on the waves where
The mermaids swim & play
Where they sing songs of enchantment

& comb their tresses by day

But when darkness falls upon the sea
Don’t leave the helm case you stray
Into wild waters where ships they pass
Like ghosts on murky mists of grey

For they’ll drag you down into their depths
If you should lose your way

They'll take your life or give it back

So spare me please...I pray
