Evening Prayers At Sea

Evening Prayers at Sea
David J Walker

I remember the ship 
and the shore parting ways
And how the waves 
Kept count of the days
Away at sea

Turning an hour  Into another eternity
Where he who was me
shall remain smiling forever locked in 
the locket draped over your heart

As I walk the streets of each days past 
Where the Village lanes lie fast
Beneath green boughs
I kneel and bow and pray for
a better day tomorrow
As the sunsets on calm seas
