THE SEA CALLS OUT

Anchors aweigh
I heard Him say

Not a shout
But a whisper

In the hushed tone
Of a funeral

Foggy dawn

We have been long
Enough in the calm

Safe embrace of
The harbour

To us the sea calls out
To us deep waters

Beckon
Beacons

Light the way
Through mist and dark

The heavy swell ahead
Holds no fear

No storm can blind
The eyes that are fixed

On horizons
Not explored

The centre-point
Of all things

The final destination
Of all farriers
