Are those our boats
With their lateen sails
Coming into the harbor

No it is only the mist
Rising up from the bay

The old lighthouse horn
With a low tone like sorrow
Calls across the vacant sea

Longing to see
even if some wreckages
of those memories.

Another most effective and fine "Zenesque" write!

I am especially fond of the ending:

"The old lighthouse horn
With a low tone like sorrow
Calls across the vacant sea"

v. serious and sustained applause!!

Your words always impress me and this is no exception.  Absolutely fantastic lines here.

Much enjoyed this, John.
Happy holidays to you.
