Home From The Sea Poem by David Wood
Home From The Sea
As we go forth a sailing
On a starry, starry night
With the wind moaning and hailing
And a full moon still and bright
And those rolling waves a pounding
Like galloping white horses
With the mate taking a depth sounding
And the navigator setting courses.
The wind singing in the rigging
And the sails set a reef or two
With the whole ship’s crew a singing
And my home thoughts just of you.
Our home port just a day away
As the ship pounds through the waves
Soon we can drink, rest and play
And not make the sea our graves.
Soon I will be with you dear wife
In our home right by the sea
Once again you’ll be the centre of my life
As things just ought to be.
Lovely David - a fine write for your late wife, a poem of devotion.
The hopeful longings of a mariner, sailing homeward! The thought of his sweet wife waiting for him and the prospect of getting united with her, makes him excited! Great flow of passionate feelings! !
I see the poet's yearning for the lover. A lover so dear is always fresh in memory. Great dedication expressed in the poem. I have been missing your poems for some time.
A magnificent poem! Beautiful poetic expression....loved it
Sailor's urge for union with wife [family] and cozy comfort of sweet home, so very well expressed. and not make the sea our grave underlines sailor's yearnings or...........?
I really enjoyed this very passionate and loving write. The rough sea with its ferocious waves are made calmer by the longings and adoration of a love one.It touched my heart and senses. Lovely.
A fantastic poem, the yearning for the ones we love would see us go through anything to be with them.
