Walking the Widows Walk again
He's gone out to sea..
Bonny waves and crashing oars
Hemp ropes and anchors strong.
I walk and walk peering
O'er those white foamed curls
Hearing the gulls cry
Tasting the salt spray on my lips
To mingle with the tears
Walking, ever walking
Hoping to see a bow
Starboard, Aft and Quartermast
Sails and Crows Nest
Cannons and Booms
Winches and Deck
I care not for these things
In my minds eye I see his face
The majesty and might of that
Proud helm receding
My heart taking wing at meeting
That which is familiar as my own skin
So I walk and walk the Widows Walk
Praying for his safe return.
