[100%] 
From port to starboard
the breeze drift
the hull cleaving the green
distorting its sheen.
The masts carry life
and a crow’s nest eye
awaiting the gleam
of St Elmo’s Fire
while below
the ever changing flow,
of blue green currents
at times gentle, at times torrents.
Calm now,
the sea soon to rise and fall
in wall upon wall
of raw power
to smash against the cliff’s tower.
By the stars the voyage commences
with lift and drop of gold
bringing illumination
to their destination.
Many a sailor bold
bathing in the surf’s spray
relishes the constant rocking
of a lullaby never to die.
