The Captain

To Susan who lost a good friend...her Captain...

She thought of her Captain


Who lived for the sea


Her heart bled salt tears


To see that old hanging tree


He once  walked the sloped decks  


With the rigging running free


Sang sea old sea chanties


A chorus of diddle dum dee


She thought of his passion


That he once shared with she


She remembered his memory


His memory so easy to see


She once told me about him


Said I was something like he


It  made me feel truly special


She thought so much of me


Now to his grave she often  returns


To ask how he likes being totally free


Wishes fair winds and smooth sailing


For the Captain who loved the salt sea!

Ah, the only thing that could've made this one better is a background of waves crashing against the rocks. Really enjoyed this one, Felix!

You know deep in my heart...Gerhard is smiling that huge pirate grin with sparkling blue eyes and he sure nods in agreement that Feelix wrote a grand poem of the captain , the sea and dear Fee.

Thank you Fee!!

Your big heart pounds like the ocean waves here, Pops, with both admiration and compassion for your friend's deep sense of loss. Doubtless she will find both comfort and encouragement in your lines. This write is a testimony to all three of the brave and noble souls who are involved. I like the way you have brought us into the subjectivity of this as well as into the "voyeuristic" qualities. Tender and heartfelt, as only you can do. What a special friend you are, and no mistake. And your sense of identification with both of your subjects is strong. Bless you and thank you. Kate xx

This poem got to me like no other. My father loved the sea. At his funeral, the minister read, Sea Fever by John Masefield. Thank you for this offering.
