Where Are You? Poem by Don Parker

'Where are you? ' you ask of me,
And I reply, 'I'm out to sea!
'To see the world, to see its sights,
'To see the dazzling Northern Lights
'As heel-and-toe they make their way
'T'wards the dawn of another day.'

And as the sun begins to rise,
It draws a shroud from eastern skies,
So you can see down here below
A freighter ship caught in the glow
Of dawning's rays, serene, cerise,
Spreading across the gentle seas
That carry this ship along its way
Into the heart of another day.
