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
You write so beautifully Hank, just some sage advice. if you want others to come to read your work my advice would be to comment on others work. You are so talented and you might get some inspiration reading others work. just a suggestion.ย
