The Call

Maritime echoes, cry of bird

Phantom voices we once heard

Cries of pleasure in the rain

Hear the haunting old refrain.

Hundred fathoms deep each day

Search for the immortal way

Spirit lost, and yet I seek

Soul is strong, yet body weak.

Visions dance and bid me join

Precious moments I purloin

Dance is over, day is done

One left standing…only one.

Ship goes nowhere, darkness cloaks

Reveal all the cosmic jokes

Act in sin and pay the price

Find God in a grain of rice.

Small yet powerful

Nothing yet all

I have no choice but to

Answer the call.

The Poetic Pirate strikes again!

Wow....Ye be on a roll!

Ever been published?

I have one that was....

It's about that feeling you get when you walk through your own house and it's dark.....you walk down the hall to your room and you just know there is someone or something behind you. BUT you don't look back. You just keep walking and get into bed and under the covers before it gets you.........

BUT....In my poem.....It gets you and takes ouy away.

There is always something there. :)
