Upon the wonderous seas
come those darken dreams,
where time keeps sailing on by
like a silent sad outcry.

Late-night upon the ship
is where my intelligent mind
begins to write
my famous lines.

What a knowledgeable thing for me to do
when I am feeling so blue-
even the wind is blowing it hues
over something that happened some time ago.

I see the moon hanging down low
like it is seeing a show
or maybe it is seeing a ghost
that it is trying to host.

It something about the night
that plays around with my creative mind
that keeps me up to write
what I discover that feeds my poetic spirit.
