I thoughtfully walked, along a pretty long beach
Sea air in my hair; sand under feet.
Admired the view, that I’ve always known
Homed in and then reached, a ship called ‘Home’.
I live and I sleep where the seagulls screech
It’s ideal, idyllic, so I’m always at peace.
Lost without it, but on the beach near the ship
Like a seagull who landed, not stranded, - I found it.
I was told, by a man who was old, to be lonely is only
A feeling of needing, of which the purpose is solely
To mix with the hoard - it constricts and it strangles
So, live life alone, or your mind will be tangled.
Keep yourself to yourself, and admire the tide
Make the ocean your life, and the stars your guide.
Swim with care if you dare, avoid sharks untamed
The ocean and emotions, are one of the same.
Men are the sharks and birds are the waves
The waves come and go - the girl’s I crave.
It puts light in your eyes, enjoying the sun
No one near, but fish by the tonne.
I’m ashamed to say, that to this day
I’ve never endeavoured, in this stormy weather
To dare, cos I’m scared, to climb the nest of the crow!
So, I eat fish that I catch, and eggs of birds unhatched
Which takes care of my figure so bigger I grow.
Anchored at bay, that is far from risk
The cannons have a use - I fill them with fish
Out of sunlight, but in sight, don't go without
But God forbid there’d be no fish, if there was a drought.
The sunlight is heat, when your life is cold
So capture the rapture, you’ll live to grow old.
