The mighty vessel outward sailed
Unto the vastness of the sea
Where, lingering moon and vibrant sun
Cast brightest blue and vivid green
The splendid ship named Sea Spray Sway
Held captive men to sailors make
For to the sea, they made their vows
And of their hearts, the sea did take
For fifteen days so lost at sea
Their rations dwindled and spirits died
Deaths occurred and fights ensued
Until, from crow’s nest, land was spied
No land as wondrous as they found
For carried them to there, the tide
Though seeking life from solid ground
They’d not give up the sea, their bride

A wonderful poem litterally but in metaphor even grander. It speaks of life's adversity and hope that is rewarded but not to the extent of giving up the struggle of going on even after victory. So well penned.
Thank you so much for your time and kind words.
Anyone who chooses to sail the seas must find it hard to be grounded. A.stunnung poem 💖 a beautiful rhythm in this.
Thank you, so much!
I meant stunning poem. X
A sea tale as old as time, told in such vivid verse. Rich in imagery, I can see the colors and feel the salty spray. I think I can even hear a concertina being played in the background. A beautiful poem, an outstanding piece of literature!
Wow, thank you so very much for your most generous comments.
Well deserved my friend!
