Lookin at the rows of lights along the night shore line Summer days and breezy nights are captured in my mind Oh oh sweet memories of windsongs talking love Once again we'll hear them in the sails above Through the waves and wakes we'll glide along the watery road. Sunny days and moonlit nights and wind to cleanse our soul. Goodbye to shop work gone to another world. The streets will be fading from our spreading swirls. Chorus: Every day will mirror reflections we'll repeat. Two aimless drifters floating in a dream. And every breath we take and every day we wake We'll be lovers lost at sea. We'll blend with every roll on a magic swing. We'll be free from the toll that working days can bring. Oh time won't be wasted we live so little years. In the blow of the cool spray We'll hold hands and cheer Lapping waters linger on And deep sleep will prevail. With the voice of freedom calling from a new dawn sail. Oh oh, sweet memories of mornings making love. Oh how we'll caress when the daylight comes. Chorus: Every day will mirror reflections we'll repeat. Two aimless drifters floating in a dream. And every breath we take and every day we wake We'll be lovers lost at sea. The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

I went sailing, just once, and you brought the magic of it back in this delightful write... thanks for that, Ethome! |

"floating in a dream" I've never been sailing but this makes me want to sit on a sailboat and count the stars.  |

I HAVE sailed frequently and you have captured the feeling very well. Goodbye, civilization - hello, life!  |

Every day will mirror reflections we'll repeat. Two aimless drifters floating in a dream. And every breath we take and every day we wake We'll be lovers lost at sea. ======================================== I love the whole poem, but I am enthralled by the chorus. "lovers lost at sea" such a romantic notion! But after all, it's to be expected from you, you are a poet.  and a very fine one at that. Thanx for sharing. ~Krissie "No one has ever loved ~anyone~ the way ~everyone~ wants to be loved" |

"Oh oh sweet memories of windsongs talking love Once again we'll hear them in the sails above" How beautiful! I hear your song in the sails, and I'm no where near an ocean breeze! |

This is so well done. I grew up on a lake, your description: ...waves and wakes... ...along the watery road... is perfect, as is the rest the poem. Good Feeling.  Pat without surrender, be on good terms with all persons... |
