Poem Title:
Poem
By moonlight step on the pitching deck Leave the safety of dry land behind A quest to know what lies beyond here The familiar and the known recede Like sailors of ages past who left A thousand treasures to seek and gain She plots her course by the stars… to find a dream The jib sail catches the sun's first light As she sets off at the break of dawn Miles drift by… she is alone and free Then a voice calls to her, and she hears Faint at first, then growing strong and clear He beckons to her and she must choose She turns her course to follow… to chase a dream Wind billows the sails, the mast holds firm The waves, like wings, flow from bow to stern She becomes the sea, his voice the sky Breeze, his breath, blows softly through her hair Pure rays, his touch, caress her fair skin The sun, his face, kiss her lips gently She stays her course through the day... and meets a dream Through sunset they journey together To the vast expanding horizon Where the sky and sea lay in repose Lovers entwined embrace at twilight United on this new adventure Where East meets West, stretching forever They plot their course by the stars... and live a dream 8/7/2019
