The sun sets low across the sky
As whispers sound from tide to tide
The rhythm echoes throughout the sea
As constant as a humming bee
The sunlight maps a path to peace
Water and sky make horizon’s crease
Water sparkles like the midnight sky
Marking a path to travel by
A novel written without end
New pages turned with every bend
A distant port he seeks to find
But his destination is another kind
A search for love for strength for hope
All solved by sails and scars and rope
What if the port comes and goes
And still the man has longing woes?
Will he simply stop his quest?
Or challenge his character to another test?
He’ll overcome all hardships’ waves
And achieve the destiny he craves
A sailor’s life bound to the sea
The only place that he feels free
The sunlight maps a path to peace
Water and sky make horizons crease
