A Ships' Captain
Swirls of light
Enveloped the sails
On a quiet starlit night
A captain, on the deck
A precious cargo to keep
Phosphorescence trails
Iluminating the deep
Lanterns on the masts and spars
Reassuring touch of timber
Flap of sails
The navigation by the stars
On the sea
Lit by a moon
and star bright
Carrying precious things
A ships' captain
On the deck at night
