Sailor's Poesy

Missing the deep blue waters of the ocean today.

Under the force of water and air

She groans and creaks and clicks.

We are neither here, nor there

But more or less betwixt.

 

The wind a soft, guiding hand

Beckons to a far off land.

To port and back, yon and hither

Across blue plains, do we skate and slither.

 

The world is our oyster dear

So much to see, so why stay here?

Let’s journey on to the world beyond

Cross salty seas to seal our bond.

 

You’re strong and faithful to me alone

As we trail along with the breezes blown.

So stay with me always, dear, sweet ship

Another day, another time, and still another trip.

The sway of this piece as it matches the churning waves is perfect in its rhythm and phrasing as well as your impeccable vocabulary and how the sounds of your words blend in with a sensory appeal that whisks me away to the beach and beyond.. beautiful words!
