Poem
Va Pensieri My solitude, which I prefer Does not, like some, plunge to despair But rather it does stimulate My mind for thoughts to create. Inside my room, alone again For all the sounds does my ear strain: The muffled purr from the a/c The creaking bulkheads all round me. Outside I watch a billowing cloud Grow quietly dark as night does shroud The blues and greens of the sea And whitecaps dancing angrily. In the chill cold night we roll and swell Piched up and down and aside as well. Like that cork in a bath we are tossed about The waves slap our bows and, as though in a shout Wakens us from our reverie To let us know that we are still at sea. To remind us too that we should bemoan The fact that we're hers and hers alone. But let the gulls skim the waves and the fish keep the sea For it's among the clouds where my heart wants to be. Away to the South and away from here Away to those parts which my heart holds so dear. Soft music plays alongside my ear No staccato bursts, but slow and clear. And as it soothes me to very soul My mind and heart reach their goal. No need for words from any other For words right now, my peace would smother. In this tranquil mood I write Just as day dies and I say goodnight.
