Silent Viking Ship

Viking ship glided into the port at two in the morning The sailors had slept through it, snoring was heard by fish Aurora Borealis was flashing lavender blue and green lights A show no human saw that evening, as everyone was sleeping There were no sounds of oars dipping into the water. Norway was silent, as were the woods and the ship. The men slept as soundly as any army ever had. Morning would be soon enough to start the celebration. Some had not returned, which is always sad. Especially when they left behind a young sweetheart. Or left behind a loving wife with three little Norwegians. The silent ship drifted in under the smile of Aurora Borealis.
