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.
