Poems
May 2017
ghosts on the water
Captains courageous
Out hunting for whale
Ghosts on the water
Still under sail
Whales are all gone now
Time goes so fast
Ghosts on the water
Still a'fore the mast
Yesterday beckons
But no one can see
The ghosts on the water
Still sailing the sea
Hunting for schools
That no longer exist
Ghosts on the water
Sail on in the mist
Captains courageous
Out hunting for blue
Souls lost in stasis
A captain and crew
Looking for something
Fighting waves and the gales
Ghosts on the water
Still under sail
A sailor's adventure
Going where the wind blows
When will the sea bite?
Nobody knows
Ships nonexistent
Hunting whales also lost
Ghosts on the water
Whatever the cost
