Upon the Sea of Moonlight

My quiet reflection.......... 
With the coming of the night 
My quiet reflection 
Upon the sea of moonlight 
 
Upon the sea of moonlight 
My journey through the night 
There is no darkness to fear 
for ,the light of the moon is here 
 
Soft silver moonbeams......... 
More than I can dream 
Guides me through the night....... 
My journey upon the sea of moonlight 
 
The night wind blew......... 
Filling my sail.......... 
Filling me too.......... 
on my journey's trail 
 
The night wind blew 
Far in to the night 
The night wind blew 
Upon the sea of moonlight 
 
For,the sail never flapped 
It remained steady 
The night wind trapped 
Every gust........... 
Every eddy 
 
Witnessed only by the night 
The silent crossing 
Upon the sea of moonlight 
 
Within all our dreams 
We all take sail 
Under moonbeams 
The journey's trail 
 
The night wind blows 
Upon the sea of moonlight 
Darkest 
Before dawn 
Before the sun rose 
The coming of sunlight 
 
The dream world 
Travelled at night 
with the sail unfurled 
Upon the sea of moonlight 
 
For some... 
The journey never ends right 
For some.... 
Time to leave the sea of moonlight 
 
Your sail, to catch moonbeams 
Upon the sea of moonlight 
To travel, in your dreams 
Pushed far into the night 
 
My quiet reflection........... 
With the coming of the night 
Your quiet reflection 
Upon the sea of moonlight

Love this write Matthew. It made me think of a lot of different things, one is I visualized setting sail under the moonlight in a full sail clipper ship (I've always had a fascination about ships). 'For some the journey never ends' ...is one of my favorite lines of this poem, not sure why though...maybe sometimes I feel my life is an endless journey. I thought it was a wonderful write.
