| i met a gentleman of the sea shared time ~ he born same day as me told me tales of times away when he was in the prime of his day i saw in his eyes the treasures of 'his' sea rescues in winds, ships, high tides ~ he unknowingly impressed me his eyes sparkled as he told his tales, was more than a mystery book a delight to listen to, his adventures - the risks he took gale force winds, high tides - born of commitment to the sea a life i truly could understand he was not unlike the roadways of me i met him only by chance, in my early days here on the net sent me poetry he wrote in a book inspired writings ~ not able to put down for i was hooked with this man of the sea dearly loved by his lady ~ she too of the waters way inspired him all those days while she bided her time through thick and thin she gave what may, waiting for their prime sadly she was taken away in the seas final spray written in his book, of his now lonely time, his love for her untamed strolling in writing of their special seas how sadly dreams of future endeviours were not meant to be like a note in a bottle, bobbing up and down, following its course in the choppy seas no fear my friend together with your lady one day you will be.. |
