Ships....In The Night Poem by James B. Earley

....I have....little....to offer
But a memory the measure
.....Of one soul to another
Please take it and treasure

Two ships simply passing
....One magnanimous night
Observing....in the distance
....Life's proverbial...light

Thus...feeling the presence
Of that...so close...yet so far
.....Two ships in the night
Simply passing we are

....Long....live....the waves
Calm seas.....and its storms
......Life itself an adventure
Uncertainty.....the norm

.....Within that uncertainty
Assuredly one thing is true....
Sometimes....two ships simply passing
....'Tis....the most wisest of views

So....from one soul....to another
.....Those ships of the night
May they sail on in friendship
.....Ever keeping....in sight

Though...there's little....to offer...
But this memory the measure
....Of one soul to another
Please take it...please treasure
