Nocturne Sails
Doc Shepherd Oct 2011
To sail across the moonlit sky
Through the mist, clouds and fog

Amongst the coursing moonbeam sea
Along the starry night above,

Treetops billow, bend and break
As seaweed dance beneath the waves

Row and row upon the waters
Of speckled sky and shining luna

Sails full with cool night breeze
Course set by airy currents

The seafloor comes alive with beasts
Darting across the leaf strewn paths

Upon the horizon, a storm does swell
Lightning flashes in the ocean below

Winds strengthen, clouds rush onward
Rocky sailing upon greying skies

As the moonlight washes away in the rain
From the stormy sea within the sky

The storm calms as dawn grows near
The seas fall as blue sunlight breaks

The stars wink out their goodbyes
As moonset brings a new day’s work

The ship makes land beneath the sheets
While we all rise from out dream filled sleep

— The End —
