Poem Category: Ships & Oceans

the Aurora lights–
the silence starts
on our cruise ship

waves crash–
brought on the wind
a voice from the yacht

seeping tide
the boat’s name again
in sunshine sparkles

harbour breeze
the oranges of dawn
pour in the boat sails

harbour dawn
the boat sails
colour the wind

fog horns
returns
shaping the harbour

lighthouse beam
the voices of the storm
through a yacht

always to be great whites
lording in the seven seas–
the crabs watch them pass

the clouds are wild
a lightning cracks
our shadows on the sea

sails limp-
the breeze fails and fails
to tack us- home
