Poem
Born to the sea Mind of water, flowing thoughts; The currents beneath your words could change us all. River heart, born to the sea; The solace we seek waves to you and to me. Join me on this voyage, over water, to a new land. All hands on deck chairs are temporarily in the sand. Cast ashore to repair our vessel, But soon we shall cruise again, so hoist that sail. Raise it so high, that the crow's nest will not be our peak And the land dwellers will be the last people that we would wish to meet. My crew and I are setting off on an adventure; A journey across the deep blue, to a land of mischief and wonder. The undiscovered land, on the other side of a new life. We be pirates, so we be; so raise that Jolly Roger flag upon high. Let all who see our symbol know the story of our ship. The unsinkable voyager; A blast from the past, blowing through the wind. Raise the sails and let the wind take us in and move us on And throughout the jagged edged cliffs and beyond! And on past the mermaids that sit upon the rocks, Singing such enchanting songs And on past the things that they call ‘The Leviathan’. Release the Kraken! The foulest beast from the Gods up above And we shall continue this trek into the darkest of the rum. To the bottom of the barrel, right down to the Admirals eye. Let the birds be our guide to our next paradise. Land ahoy! There be treasure there for sure; So onward ya scurvy rats and be prepared to fight once more! We are damned to forever sail, Since the life at sea swallowed our cursed souls; Now we travel these high seas in search of more silver and gold. (C)2016 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
