I follow
The land’s flow
Over swell
And hollow
This sea of soil
Calls out to
Hard men
Sailors of
The grasslands
Content to be at sea
Tag: sailing
This Little Buoy
This little buoy
Between the rocks
Bobs and clangs
In gentle swells
Between the rocks
Bobs and clangs
In gentle swells
A narrow draft
‘Tween reef and land
One red one green
The channel marked
At night
Her light
Bright green
Is seen
Green on the port
To find the port
Green to starboard
Then sail the seas
Into Unknown Worlds
The land rolls
Like waves across the sea
Like the grasses
In staccato breeze
Like waves across the sea
Like the grasses
In staccato breeze
And there go we
Like sailors
Over the rolling land
Into unknown worlds
Coal Harbour
Concrete and glass
Water
Calm below
Crystalline wisps above
Water
Calm below
Crystalline wisps above
Amber and rouge
Blue and black
Skyline betwixt
The sky and sea
The dead who made the shore
Blinded by the rain and fog
Tossed by the wind, adrift
Tossed by the wind, adrift
With her sails all torn
The great tall ship
Her tiller shorn
She broke her back
Upon the stone
