Will you remain with us, Scandies Rose?
We'll always be your rugged salty crew,
chapped by the ocean's kiss.
You were our mainstay and our vessel,
you faded down the depths with us.
The sea with her surface of blue glass,
of swells of tempests-
Our sweet Rose,
twenty foot seas and icing,
forty mile per hour winds.
You were listing on your starboard side,
and now the oceanic beauty has our bodies
in her tidal bosom.
The sun gifts the brine golden,
yet, there was never a promise to return to
a misty welcoming harbor.
Neath eve stars,
our wives awakening from dreams without
rest.
Our children's faces stream with tears
trickling down into the receiving seas of
our spirits.
Will the mysteries, the finality of the deep
turn them to another life on land?
In the moss-green waves,
in the seabird's cries our souls
are sealed.
Yet, Poseidon's loss,
as we are everlasting sons
of our Lord's keep. ~
