Greenbrier

Gentle splashing marks her passage To defy the odds of life From the safety of the harbor To the seas with danger rife To carry forth a burden mostly hidden To the port at Greenbrier just beyond the light Where those awaiting her arrival celebrate the sight Relief to see the end of such a weighty matter The fishermen distinctly manage moving parting Leaving wake for no mistake allowed to harm her On arrival to the harbor to find her berth again For a time to settle in to handle such a precious cargo Ending journey starts the long demands Mostly silent she ignores the celebration Another cargo just as certain to bring to joy Upon announcement from the full hudok again
