A savoury taste lingers on the sailor’s tongue, As he reaches out into the angry waves To pull the moonlight from it’s rays And winds its threads around a spool Through the night he stays awake Rapidly sewing together his dreams He finds himself searching for a lighthouse built from his insecurities
But a fluorescent light dances above, Far beyond a silver lining, Left behind by a frozen voice Of a past self lost in the eye of a hurricane.
