Whispers of the Sea

December 14, 1980
   

The raindrops in the fog touched lightly against me,
And brought me news of fresh-caught fish and sea gulls flying free.
The fading light of afternoon glimmered in the mist,
And showed me waves that softly spoke in whispers of the sea.

Whispers of the sea!
Long-forgotten memories of men and ships that sailed,
Of faithful wives who watched in vain,
For those who couldn't come.

Whispers of the sea!
Long-forgotten memories and legendary tales,
Of men who conquered storm and rain,
Of deeds so bravely done.

Whispers of the sea!
Long-forgotten memories of men and ships that sailed,
That now are simply ancient tales,
And whispers of the sea.

I seemed to see a ship docked proudly in its berth,
And heard the shouts of sailors in the crashing of the surf.
But shaking off the swirling mists clinging fast to me,
I saw the waves that softly spoke in whispers of the sea.

Whispers of the sea!
Long-forgotten memories of men and ships that sailed,
Who searched for treasures of the past,
In strange and unknown lands.

Whispers of the sea!
Long-forgotten memories and legendary tales,
Of quaint old ships with sails and masts,
Careened on distant sands.

Whispers of the sea!
Long-forgotten memories of men and ships that sailed,
That now are simply ancient tales,
And whispers of the sea.

Long-forgotten memories of men and ships that sailed,
That now are simply ancient tales,
And whispers of the sea!
