The Wild Wild Sea
4
I saw it again this evening,
5
Black sail in a pale yellow sky
6
And just as before in a moment,
7
It was gone where the grey gulls fly
8
If it happens again I shall worry
9
That only a strange ship could fly
10
And my sanity scans the horizon
11
In the light of the darkening sky.
12
That night, as I walked in my slumber
13
I waded into the sea strand
14
And I swam with the moon and her lover
15
Until I lost sight of the land
16
I swam till the night became morning
17
Black sail in a reddening sky
18
Found myself on the deck of a rolling ship
19
So far where no grey gulls fly
20
All around me was silence
21
As if mocking my frail human hopes
22
And a question mark hung in the canvas
23
For the wind that had died in the ropes
24
I may have slept for an hour
25
I may have slept for a day
26
For I woke in a bed of white linen
27
And the sky was the colour of clay.
28
At first, just a rustle of canvas
29
And the gentlest breath on my face
30
But a galloping line of white horses
31
Said that soon we were in for a race
32
And the gentle sigh turned to a howling
33
And the grey sky, she angered to black
34
And my anxious eyes searched the horizon
35
With the gathering sea at my back
36
Did I see the shade of a sailor
37
On the bridge, through the wheel-house pane
38
Held fast to the wheel of the rocking ship
39
As I squinted my eyes in the rain?
40
For the ship had turned into the wind
41
Against the storm to brace
42
And underneath the sailor's hat
43
I saw my father's face
44
If a prayer today is spoken
45
Please offer it for me
46
When the bridge to heaven is broken
47
And you're lost on the wild, wild sea
48
And you're lost on the wild, wild sea
49
And you're lost on the wild, wild sea
50
And you're lost on the wild, wild sea
