Solitude under Sail

The fog lifted before nightfall. I caught the sun just as it was touching the sea and watched it disappear. As I turned to the east, at the very end of the bowsprit was the smiling full moon rising out of the sea. “Good evening, sir,” I cried; “I’m glad to see you.” I’ve had many a long talk since then with the man in the moon, knowing he would always be there for me as I travel on.

home again
our drinks sweating in the sun
can wait
I want to see your eyes smile
I want to see you watching me
