On the Dock

Lights flashing 
           amongst the darkness
       Boats comming back home 
                   or just sleeping
       to jump out to another adventure.
 
            The happy dock smiles 
                    to everyone.
                 After the years,
         it witnesses happiness
                   and sadness.

          Men leaving for earning
                      their life 
            and never came back
                    or by the way, 
                people that come 
             for enjoying their life.

       Many grew up with white hair
       waiting for the beloved ones
                   to come back.
               Others have gone 
             and they conquered
            other docks far away.
 
        Easy to stroll by the boats, 
    difficult to find out where to go.

            Walking on the dock, 
                       it's easy 
       to sail on our imagination.

                 Smelling fish 
          awakes our senses
         not far from the dock
        where ny boat is stuck 
                     between 
         the dock and the ocean 
             to keep on sailing.
