A Seaman's Letter To Home Poem by Vixen Kaye

It's nearly morn, i'm still awake
This feeling is so hard to shake
I dreamt once more that you were here
Your voice like a song i still hear

It seems just once upon a time
When dreams and the sea used to rhyme
Just yesterday we bid goodbye
Just yesterday we had one sky

Out on the deck with stars alight
At sea where memories are bright
A seaman's dreams and sorrows too
Things left behind, wishes for you

Out here it's truly not the same
The deck's too busy, much old flame
Dark storms, crashing waves, lonely nights
Nothing but fireflies as bright lights

It's hard not to think about home
With nothing but ships and sea foam
A letter to you, 'all is fine'
While tracing all our stars in line

Everything's different here at sea
Memories like a blur to me
Months too slow and you seem too far
A kiss on a bright shooting star

I don't know how this would matter
Just something to wish us better
A reminder across the sea
Of better days, of you and me

Goodbye for now, i'll see you soon
When all's the same, our usual tune
I hope then all will still be fine
Know i'm still yours, hope you're still mine
