Love Poem: The Journey of a Ship

The Journey of a Ship

Swirls of light
Enveloped the sails
On a quiet starlit night
 
Faerie light flickered brightly
Upon a ship filled with treasure and magic
The sweet kiss of the sea
 
A ship from the Whispering Trees
Made with skill
Made with love
Sailed forward in the night breeze
 
Smooth polished wood laid
Carved by the Earthen King
Sails made by the Queens
A beautiful thing was made
 
A ship borne from a tree
A ship that became alive
The minute it touched the sea
 
It is in the purpose of things
What magic has made
To come alive
From a Whispering Tree glade
A ship upon the sea of the night
Sails filled with Faerie light
 
You imagined the world
A ship upon the sea
Sails unfurled
A ship carrying you
Carrying me
