Return
" Return "
One calm and windless night far far off at sea~
With nothing but stars far above and a deep sea below~
No living soul at my side or for company~
The great winds of the North did begin to blow~
The rigging whistled at a high fever pitch~
The decks became wet with salt and the sea~
The course that I steered was whose I knew not which~
Only of this I was certain ~
The direction had not come from me~
My bows were aimed at a point along on the horizon~
My sails filled with forces of tumultuous wild wind~
My ship lay well over pushing along her many ton~
The wind now became familiar as if she were of kin~
Up from beneath the waves suddenly there came~
A sound of such great beauty and calmness within~
As though an old friend had arrived yet I knew not her name~
In only a moment I sensed a place I had long ago been~
For as the soft sound of this Siren fell upon my ears~
And the waves grew higher and the winds carried her voice~
Instantly I realized I had no longer any fears~
And most of all knew that for this SeaWolf there was no choice~
With a wild and tumultuous flash from above the tall mast~
Came down to the decks that which forever I had craved~
A feeling which had remained until this day a thing of the past~
Yet something from within me knew that it had forever been saved~
Sharalee Lorelei took so gently my rough hand in hers~
And slowly we slid under the winds and then beneath the waves~
Down through the greens and blues until all was just a blur~
Then was I aware that I at that moment had that which I craved~
A moment of peace and a calmness from within~
A touch of such great warmth and gentleness so fine~
A feeling all around that did make my head spin~
A knowledge at last that truest love now was mine~
We continued together deep down to the Ocean's floor~
And upon our arrival drifted toward a great door~
Sharalee simply held me close and gently did she sigh~
And I rested my hand upon her soft inner thigh~
Before us was an explanation ~ the answer to all this~
For we had arrived once again at her home of Atlantis~
Now to continue and relax with a great feeling so fine~
Within us the love that would remain for all of time~
