Nocturne Sails
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
