He sailed through the seas
In a blanket of stars
Finding new worlds to love in
New worlds afar
He stored jars of moon dust
And glow worms did live
By his side as he wrote
Their light they did give
His pen quilled his heart
It never did stop
Not even in storms
As the boat it did rock
His mind was alive
With the sounds of the waves
And his pages did speak
As his soul it did crave
At night he would watch
Dreams whistle by
As they shot to the stars
In a crisp, glistening sky
While the dreams softly burned
The boat it did soothe
And his eyes lit like sparklers
As his heart is was moved
By the faith of the lost
And the hope of the found
Deep peace of two lovers
And dreams tightly bound
The strength of the sea
Allowed him to call
To the part of world
Where all things did fall
He whispered across
The luminous bay
And an echo he heard
Like a mermaid’s ballet
Awoke the lost feelings
That once had been found
A beautiful moment!
A glorious sound!
His love she was calling
A kaleidoscope trance
and the turtles they sung
as the dolphins did dance
She followed the sight
With the turn of the tide
Closer and closer
Towards glow worms’ light
Till they shone for her too
Then the book it got closed
and they sail now together
where’er the wind blows
The Voyage © lisa naylor
I packed faith in my bag
and sealed it real tight
should the water seep in
in the depths of the night
My hope I did bottle
In a turquoise jar
It was sealed for the journey
for near and for far
My love, it was wrapped
and tied with a bow
it could follow me now
wherever I go
I took all my luggage
and boarded the boat
but my hope was too heavy
and we could not all float
The vessel did sink
along with my heart
and I feared it the end
right after the start
But within a few moments
I smiled with glee
my gifts they were buoyant
they stayed close to me
For after they reached
the depths of the sea
they realised there
they could not be free
and them being so close
my soul is could swim
and my love it could warm
my cold and numbed skin
and my hope and desire
made stars shine so bright
An aurora took place
that beautiful night
As I walked to the shore
A lesson I'd learned
when a fire is close
you may not get burned
Instead you may rest
and enjoy a warm glow
and from that day on
you will always now
That just when you need them
your strengths they will stand
the test of the tide
till you safely reach land
