My relationship with the sea since I retired.
The Sea and I
The canopy of jewels in the dark velvety sky
Stretching over the beach on which we sat
Gravel damp with spray beneath our legs
The Needles white and jagged but softened
By moonlight sparkling across the calm sea
A ship with lights blazing passes cheerfully
Off to some distant exotic lands and places
Will I ever sail like that again?
Out into the moonlight sea
Away! Away!
Will I again feel the thrill of leaving?
Seeing the land and the lights disappear
And the moon and stars companions
Now I sit on the beach in the soft glow
Remembering what it was like to go away
What it was like to arrive in distant lands
