A Voyage To Remember

The day that we left port, to new horizons we would sail Knowing the dangers ahead, seafarers in the end we would prevail Our journey from the Highlands from Inverness my home town To Brazil in South America a new life to settle down With charts of old we sail the seas Passing the Antialtair Seamount with hardly a breeze Our destination set, half way through our trip Bridgetown, Barbados, on my elegant ship We noticed a change a difference, on these high seas Many nautical miles I've sailed but I've never seen ones like these The sky had turned a colour I'd never seen before Sporadic luminescent blues, like the beaches of the Azores Our lookout suddenly shouts, dark shapes drift in the clouds Before too long there is screaming, even the men cry loud Swooping winged creatures descend, mouths agape with luminescent blues Their tails whipping the swells, lacerating the waves we sail through For many hours they probed as they swooped, a blue ball hovering over my ship This is certainly a voyage to remember, to our new life on this trip We finally reach Bridgetown, Barbados, my family and crew still in fear When we sighted this land in the sun, we were deafened by our cheers We reported in to the authorities, our run in with creatures unknown They mentioned the Bermuda Triangle, and we were not alone They have many reporting such as we, even fleets disappearing from view To reach here as we have done, we are lucky, just one of a few We thanked them for their assistance, as we set sail for our journeys end To Vitoria a city so new, to our sawmill, our new life, Amen As our world around us grew open, more tales and stories were told Conclusions were never developed, maybe one day it will all unfold http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy-16.php
