The night was fast upon its trail
And rushed into the coming dawn
For he had oceans yet to sail
And at the stroke of light was gone

Those moments that are fast to flee
Are ones that sometimes linger on
And etch their portraits lovingly
Upon the pallid edge of dawn

My head was laid on manly skin
In warming rhythms of his breath
The night was innocent of sin
And only God could know its depth

A moment gone, a moment craved
A loving memory sweetly kissed
Where fleeting footprints have engraved
A seaport’s early morning mist
