A SEAMAN‘S DELIGHT

Love you both day and night
The sun sets low the moon rise high
Love you still endlessly until God stops the tide.
Sailing toward shore early one afternoon
Skipping shale across a deep lagoon
Hoping the wind would lift me up
To the sky across the moon
Rising high above the surf wave after wave
Clearing my voice to speak of prophet’s verse
But as it stands today they are often cursed
Peering through a scopic lens my thoughts to cleanse
Whether my voice is understood or brings any good.
Once it was a seaman’s delight to sail to distant shores
reap a bright reward and then return home
or continue to roam.
Exploring for a western stream
to sail one to the east back into the west
and drift all alone ‘round the crest of the dome.
Yet as the story has been told we waited for Magellan
To cross the globe
The rest were deterred for monarch’s gold.
Egyptians knew the world was round
long before the chance of the Renaissance
glimmering hope for a prospering epode.
However our genius has been sold disturbing civilization goal.
Can you hear my crying?
Love you both day and night
The sun sets low the moon rise high
Love you still endlessly until God stops the tide.
Hearing a buoy ring true awakens me.
Luminous clouds have quickly taken me
Projecting my spirit through the stratosphere
Deploring the heavens to send a charioteer
He will then transport my transcendental wishes
and heed my meditation, my thoughts he won’t deny.
The tropic friends of our seaman soothe the buccaneer
The worthy pirates hoard their treasures
and speculate that lost souls will soon appear.
Phoenicians found Hawaiian shores as an ancient mariner
trusted his instincts beyond good measure.
Why is the modern age so cold
Let me uplift your weary soul till I hear you crying!
Love you both day and night
The sun sets low the moon rise high
Love you still endlessly until God stops the tide.
