Ship Across The Moon

A little whimsy for my friends in AD and their little ones. Happy New Year everyone! I had to pluck this out one-handed as my left is bandaged for the next couple of weeks... just another little bump in the road of life..sigh

 

Ship Across The Moon
 
I watched an old tall wooden ship
As she sailed boldly ‘cross the moon
Her sails were filled with angel’s breath
Her bow covered in doubloon
 
I wondered could this be a dream
Or a moment from time gone by
For many ships I’ve spied at sea
But none taken to the sky
 
The light did glisten ‘pon her deck
Her masts were sturdy and strong
Her ropes were tied so perfectly
From her hull there echoed song
 
Her sails were white as fallen snow
Her rails waxed to glossy shine
Her portholes clear as fresh blown glass
With no mist from dulling brine
 
I wondered of her loyal crew
And the one captaining this ship
And if a vessel in the sky
Could e'er sink or even tip
 
The full moon cast her silver light
On my vessel in the sky
And as stars went out, one by one
Behind the moon my ship did fly

We can see many thingsin our dreams and go anywhere and do anything. Some of our dreams become reality and a goal in life. Other dreams are just life's whimsy, a fantasy that takes our mind on a surreal journey while we sleep. Oh what can it mean, when we but dream?

Thank you sis for this lovely poem and thank you so much for making me smile. :-)

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Oh how wonderful! It reminded me of our 'Ship of Dreams' which I sailed in across the world with my grandchildren! It was our sofa...but it transformed when we all boarded it together...This poem has a lovely childlike feel to it and reminded me in some ways ofthe classic 'The Owl and the Pussycat'...Thoroughly enjoyed every line! (I have recently bought a new sofa... and the 'ship of dreams' has sadly gone forever..)Love and Hugs, Diana...

So visual, Sherry, I could see this ship as if she lived and breathed high up in my windows!

Her sails were white as fallen snow
Her rails waxed to glossy shine
Her portholes clear as fresh blown glass
With no mist from dulling brine

Beautifully sing-song and atmospheric... a sure winner with adults and children alike. We two DO seem to be in the wars! Rest up and mend... you've learned a new skill already! Thanks also for your good wishes. Am doing fine! xx

Truly marvelous sea/sky tale reminds me a little of the tale of the Flying Dutchman, the ghost ship often seen sailing the waters around Nova Scotia.
