Song For A Boat At Sea Poem by Saul McCandless

A boat to the sea
Uncomfortable in me
A bloated love infection
Super-natural selection

I dreamed several shades
All of which in time will fade
Thrown around the bay
In an endless night, long day

To bring them home safe
All evil to devour and chase
Find us naked by the wires
Huddle close, swarm by the fire

My love is awash the world
Like our nations flag unfurled
I can only pray, come home now
On the wind or anyhow

I have a secret not to ever tell
Who sang first and cheated the bell
Opened eyes, with sullen hope
God keep this vessel, dry and afloat.
