On This Island…
Remarkable
“A Seafaring Tale”
Voyage
Mist, like a veil
Sprays over the bow
As the ship surges forward
Into the sea it ploughs
The Sailors seek guidance
In the darkness of the night
As the Moon hangs in the sky
A great ball of light
Guiding their ship
Past any danger that lurks
On this important voyage
Through Nature’s network
The crests of the waves
Sparkle and shimmer
Against the canvas of the ocean
That barely raises a glimmer
Onward they travel
Toward their destination
Full of confidence
With great anticipation!

Eye Of The Storm
The ship approaches
The eye of the storm
Captain spins the wheel
Sharply to port
The wind is howling
Ripping over the ship
As the Captain and crew
Try to give the storm the slip
Waves are getting higher
The sea salt so strong
As the ship continues to
Disappear into the throng
Belted and buffeted
The ship sails on
Prizing itself
From the battle, just won
The waters are calm now
Minds are at rest
As the ship won the battle
Of Mother Nature’s fine test!
