Ocean waves

Whispers of sound
	in the dark of night
that I can almost hear
	calling from far away

just outside
	so very close
whispers of stories
	once told to me

the lapping of wavelets
	and bumpers that rub
creaking of lines
	and distant gulls cry

as in times of old
	to answer the call
go down to the sea
	into the long ships

chilling air whispers
	calling to me
to take my bindle
	go down to the sea

old are those stories
	of things that were once
remember in darkness
	in stillness of night
