The moonless night...

On a moonless night,

I wait on the shore of the sea;

The waves brushing my feet

and the wind whispering to me. 

I can see my ride,

dancing to the tunes of the waves;

The sail fluttering on her mast,

and smiling to the anchor, as it raves.

The tides are gloomy and somber,

as the moon is gone;

Wandering in the misty night,

bemused and forlorn.

The night wears a mysterious veil,

and the time ticks and tocks,

Guiding me to raise the anchor,

and make my sail through the rocks.

I leave the shore behind,

and steer my ship away from the strife;

To continue where I had left,

my Odyssey called Life.
