Paint The Moon

Poetry

Away away seafaring brood
Away to ships and sailing
Traverse again to distant shores
Remember those awaiting

Away away ye kindred kind
Away to gathering be
We’ll paint the moon ’til starry night
Whenever you come home to me

Away away to hinterland
Forever dreaming you’ll be
Arrest your fear to once again
Lay hold the joy you’re seeking

Away away ye kindred kind
Sojourn to gathering be
We’ll paint the moon ’til starry night
Whenever you come home to me

One thought on “Paint The Moon”

  1. This is beautiful James. A love who truly understands a man for what he MUST do. For we all feel something calling us,…and reply we feel inside that we must. A love that accepts that and doesn’t hold us back is truly a love we surrender to.
    A sweet surrender.
