Not As I Thought

Osei Zion

I thought this white boat sits quiet on the blue waters

From afar, she rests in silence

She dances reluctantly, to-and-fro

 

A little 'pompong' pushes her asunder

The cargo sidelines her from the lines

Not as I thought

 

Sunburn, see breeze and salty haze

Rust her away bit by bit like a rotten bird

She sneezes so silently on the sea

 

But she sits beautifully

And everyone admires her
