Somedaysong #9>Sunken Ship

a strong wind/blew me into you today

the course of events/we touched ships

I came upon your private island

splashed my face/on your stormy sea

*****
everything goes full circle
even going against the wind
I lapper up your lubber line
you tack against my masthead

******
green is right/red is wrong

open channel /port is left

I navigated by the starlight

that gleemed when I looked into your eyes

*****
everything goes full circle
when you go against the wind
you lapper up my lubber line
I tack against your masthead

*****

you pulled on my rigging /tugged me into your port of call

you gave all of my ballast/the good old heave ho

you used my whisker pole/to set your trim

as you navigated your bow around My peninsula

*****

everything goes full circle

when we go against the wind

I lapper up your lubber line

I tack against your masthead

******

my ship sank into your ocean/never to be heard from again

I live with the mermaid/down at davey jones locker

my head buried in the sand/spilled of my treasured contents

I wait for your bold expedition/to come raise me again

*****

everthing goes full circle
when there's nothing against the wind
you once lappered up my lubber line
and tacked against my masthead
