Lady Sea
By Richard Maxfield
1-29-2001

As rain falls
Cold wind whips at my flesh
In the darkness
I hear the bells of the buoys

Waves are bad again
Never ending restlessly tossing
Lights from the shore
Slowly fading into the darkness

Smoke from the diesels
Filling my nostrils
Taste of salt
On my lips once more

Mist in my face
I turn her into the wind
She bucks the swells
And moans in discontent

It’s a three-hour run
To my secret place
Where once again
I’ll try lady luck

Catch my fill
Head home a winner
All to start again
Before tomorrow breaks

I ask myself why
Saying I should quit
But then my lady Sea
Beckons me back



Live like there is a tomorrow.
