Land Ahoy

Lyrics writ on salty tears
Thunderous on shell-shocked ears
Seagulls adrift on windswept tides
Befuddled seamen ode abides

Sequestered by virtuoso pursuit
Chasing dreams along commute
Sunken ships fathoms deep
Blessed tis fairwinds sweep

Rum a mariner’s muse
Lulling a lengthy cruise
Man overboard revery sung
Teetering on a starboard rung

Crow’s-nest spotter “land ahoy”
Heartwarming euphoric joy
Hasten home to landlubber true
For by chance she bids adieu
