of sirens and setting suns
of lonely voyages and scattered winds
of melancholy and haunting songs
of the call of sea
of distant ports and roll of tides
of laden ships and fear of night
a steady hand and fearless heart
whispers echoing from a guiding star
brave sailor of wind and storm
the promises of upon faraway shores
this beating heart gazes upon the flickering sea
longing for you
