Unhindered Dreams
Today I looked upon the great blue sea
and longed to be the captain of a ship
with unhindered dreams. My sites set
on wonder while my thoughts of shore
I would doubtfully ponder.
The smell of the salt and sea, where it
may lead me, I would leave to mystery.
Days of sun warming my soul and nights
filled with darkness lit by starlight drifting
ever so slow.
The song of the albatross would calm my
mind as the thoughts of the world I would
leave far behind. Warm conch shell dinners
and rum, my belly would be filled and in late
October, their warmth would heal the damp
chill.
A distant light house would be my guide
to stay at sea and from the shoreline, hide.
My heart for a moment did skip a beat as I
thought about the treasures that lay not just
at the bottom so deep, but of the soul that I
would forever in memory, get to keep.
