A Morning at Sea

The pure moment of morning bliss at sea

Laying in wait in dew covered darkness,

Wafting across the inky black void

 

Carried on nothing,

And seeking the divine

 

From black comes light,

Faint but true

 

A glow on the sails

A shimmer on the sea

 

A change of the watch

 

A bell

A voice

A pause

 

To miss a morning is

To walk an unhallowed deck

 

Slowly the light caresses the waves

Gentle building loving

 

In its initial embrace is lost the desire

For light to awaken the day

 

Born from the darkness a golden halo of light

 

Explodes

 

Bathing the ocean in its warm glow

The sailor in his comfort

The ship on her tack

 

Another morning

The same morning

A different morning

                                                            But morning all the same
