Of Tide And Sky

She rolls upon the sigh of Orionย 
Her voice Carriesย 
thro brume and mistย 
These were daysย 
when the tide was high
The waters pureย 
My Soul volcanic
As the scoriac valleysย 
Onwards strolled
While our destiny remained
Entwined with the starsย 
I said, "Gracefully she flies
Between the Goliath
ย Rivers of Spain
Our Salvation is Nigh
Encrusted through water
Our hope is restored."
And souls! The brave souls
Braced against the tide
Through the mid-December
(As we knew notย 
the month nor day)
Harbored there,ย 
Beneath the air
Buried those poor souls
Between the shore and Bay
It was thereย 
In the city by the shore
When it was spokenย 
But gave no token
In the days yond and fairย 
Many years and longer stillย 
In the forsaken days of yoreย 
That those menย 
Will not have died in vain
"Dust you were createdย 
Through sand and sinย 
And shall you return
To dust again."

I'm sure it will need rephrasing and editing it is only a draft. Just something I wrote waiting to go to work.

For those that don't know what it means ย It's talking about a sailor crew on a boat using the stars in ย  Orion to lead the way. Many men died in the late December from pneumonia or whatever take your pick. The ship went down and he is talking about her being the ship and he remembers how beautiful it was ย

Tonight, I wont be sleeping
In my own bed
