Ghostship

Through sea smoke Sails, ripped and torn Sails, stained and worn Ghostship, awoke Creak and groan, of well worn timbers Whispered moan Shivers Ghostship rigging ,trailing in the sea Masts, bleached grey Ghostship, appearing on this day Ghostship, in its' wake Amidst its' tangled rigging, dragging the souls it must keep before going down deep Lonely souls, neither alive or dead The lives, the ship stole condemned in waters, it sped In the halflight Through fog and mist Ghostship, creaking with a star baord list In the halflight Masts and spars, grey and worn Tattered sails, all forlorn Ghostship, below the stars disappearing in to the night As the sun loses it's glow, the ship takes on a strange luminescence Midnight sea Ghostship, the night has come to know Ghostship, forever travelling in half light Sails ,ripped and torn Sails,stained and worn Where she goes.... nobody knows....
