The Emerald Princess & Me

Listening only to the roar of ocean
The mighty, powerful raging sea
I am cruising on the Emerald Princess ship
Lying on it’s balcony

An infinity of a turquoise blue
Deafens my ears
Dazzling my eyes with it’s shiney hue
Betwixt the mysterious of it’s fears

The bold, bright moon is up above
Casting it’s silvery shreaks on the brine
A constellation of twinkly stars
make this midnight sight so devine

If only I could lie here forevermore
With nothing but the sound of the salty swell
Awakening my senses to Mother nature
This deep darkness of heaven’s well

As I stare at this glorious ocean
Little white lights appear on the horizon
Fairweather fearless fishermen in their man-made vessels of motion

Dragging massive meshes of nets
Trawling the waters so vast
In eagerness to scoop sealife
I spy the beacons on their mast

Oh how I adore this feeling of freedom
Feeling safe on this humongous boat
Tho it’s sheer size & volume
makes me wonder how an earth it does float

This pleasure boat with it’s enormity
cuts through everything in it’s wake
Trudging along to it’s next destination
Amidst the toss & turns of the sea’s shake
