Golden Streams

Golden streams of fresh sunshine flush the day
bringing esoteric  galleons to bay
filled from a pointed hull to shapely stern 
exulting teas and spices badly yearned 

Subdued by scents of affection afloat
passions spill in quills admiration wrote
embracing the union of sun and moon
and of breathless visions erupting soon

Hints of the night tap the bow gripped tight
divinity's song flitters through last light
starlit heavens guiding a tinted view
holding senses close as the trade wind blew

Drift onto yonder shores beneath skies so bold 
life's treasures lie faithfully in stories told
