Poem Category: Ships & Oceans

light house beam
wheeling to our distress
then leaving us

light house beam
igniting the storm
aboard us

suddenly awake and tacking
the first breaker
storming us

steering ahead
a porpoise leads our boat
till the wind turns

lava island
softened with seeds
the seas have left

taller than Pines
a forest of kelp
too deep for moonlight

the tall ship
sails tonight
on the sailors below

lightning
ignites the ocean
I sail alone

solo yacht
I tack windward
in the way of whales

waves crash—
brought on the wind
a voice from the yacht
