1
I saw it again this evening
2
Black sail in a pale yellow sky
3
And just as before in a moment
4
It was gone where the grey gulls fly.
5
If it happens again I shall worry
6
That only a strange ship could fly
7
And my sanity scans the horizon
8
In the light of the darkening sky.
9
That night as I walked in my slumber
10
I waded into the sea strand
11
And I swam with the moon and her lover
12
Until I lost sight of the land
13
I swam till the night became morning
14
Black sail in a reddening sky
15
Found myself on the deck of a rolling ship
16
So far where no grey gulls fly
17
All around me was silence
18
As if mocking my frail human hopes
19
And a question mark hung in the canvas
20
For the wind that had died in the ropes
21
I may have slept for an hour
22
I may have slept for a day
23
For I woke in a bed of white linen
24
And the sky was the colour of clay.
25
At first just a rustle of canvas
26
And the gentlest breath on my face
27
But a galloping line of white horses
28
Said that soon we were in for a race
29
The gentle sigh turned to a howling
30
And the grey sky she angered to black
31
And my anxious eyes searched the horizon
32
With the gathering sea at my back
33
Did I see the shade of a sailor
34
On the bridge through the wheelhouse pane
35
Held fast to the wheel of the rocking ship
36
As I squinted my eyes in the rain
37
For the ship had turned into the wind
38
Against the storm to brace
39
And underneath the sailor's hat
40
I saw my father's face
41
If a prayer today is spoken
42
Please offer it for me
43
When the bridge to heaven is broken
44
And you're lost on the wild wild sea
45
Lost on the wild wild sea...
