Lost At Sea By Paul Wilson To all those poor souls that threw caution to the wind… upon the seven seas Lust for adventure running thru their veins their fate cast upon the gentle breeze Pirates and thieves taking from the rich killing those that got in their way Innocent people and ships sent to a watery grave for those lost at sea we pray "Red sky in morning sailors take warning Red sky at night sailors delight" Southerly wind upon the sea warns of coming storms thousands lost at sea do abide Oceans claim their victims so many souls drift upon the tide Sailors and fishermen…passengers and military protecting our shores with their lives Family and friends they are missed by all now they reside in a sea of archives Covered by their watery grave no head stone marks their resting place Men, women, children and foe All memories of the human race No compass to guide them home No sunrise to greet them in morning No stars to plot their course No sound of forewarning Lost At Sea Never to be found Lost at sea With the sea forever bound ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (11-23-2018 08:59 PM).] |

Wonderful piece, my friend. One small quibble though - to me "Red sky in morning sailors take warning Red sky at night sailors delight" should probably have been attributed in anyone of several different ways. Quotations, as above, words leading into, or out of, for example. Enjoyed this well written piece . . . j. |
