Sea Breezes
by Gregory Christiano (Age: 61)
copyright 04-21-2003


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 
Blow, breezes, blow

Down to the shore we go;
Out to the sea and beyond,
For daylight's past we know.
Sweetly we'll turn the oar
To board the ship awaiting nigh,
The tide soon rushes and surges high.
Our voices keep tune, the sails keep time.

Blow, breezes, blow

The favoring air moves us on.
The sea runs fast but fair,
As aged moon departs the sky,
Our sails unfurl, our colors run high.
We seamen chant a ballyhoo,
We'll float above the bluest waves,
Hither we go with time and tide too.

Blow, breezes, blow

The lighthouse guides our passage safe.
We breathe upon the sweet sea air.
We sailors a-ruggedly rapid run,
And labor to hear her trim and clear,
Outspreading blue of horizon to view.
A haughty, lordly pride we eschew.
We're common and simple, that's all we knew.

Blow, breezes, blow

Hi-oh! Hi-oh! We truly love the sea.
The waters are deep, proud sailors are we.
Up anchor then to the beckoning lands,
Ahoy to port and starboard we stand.
"Avast you lubbers, what thrills you do miss.
Come join us in this adventurous risk!
Come then to share two years on the main,
To meet the lure of Neptune's domain."

Blow, breezes, blow

I really like the imagery in this poem. I can almost feel the sea breeze on my face. I always get sea-sick at sea--oh well-

Excellent write,

Rich

you lubbers... I have not heard THAT term in eons.

Are you a sailor? (I mustn't assume as we writers can be pretty near anyone we want to be in our little worlds of make believe)

You've captured the lure of the sea very well and your work has a rocking effect on the reader, much like the waves to a boat. I can almost smell the salt in the air and feel the mist on my face.

Coming back to reality, the smile remains and I thank you for that.
