waken

then the sun winked at the night's lazy clouds
and they blushed...with a pinkish sigh
not knowing whether or not to warn
the sailors ~ of a distant storm...

I had to read this a few times. Romantic in both a sensuous way but also in the sea’s adventure. Also makes me think of the sweetheart waiting back home and the peril the seaman is clueless about. Just in a few lines, the setting, the plot, and it thickens, and what will be the outcome? A fave
