It's Been Forever...

Spanning the long distances
Scanning for the lonely sail in the horizon
The gasp is heard as the dot is spotted

She grasps the iron bar in her hands
Will he remember?
Will they be what they used to be?
So many questions to be answered

She turns
Her dress flutters in the wind
Lightly her feet pad down the stairs
Out the door and down the street

She runs toward the dock
She stands at attention
A wisp of a girl
Now a strong woman

Spanning the long distances
Scanning for the lonely village on the horizon
The breathe of an Hallelujah as the dot is spotted

He jumps down to deck
Orders left and right
Will she be the same?
Will she still love as she used to?

So many questions
He orders some more
He goes to his cabin
A small servant in the galley
Now a strong captain

The ship nudges the port
She trembles as the gangway drops
A strong visage is presented before her

He clenches a fist as the gangway drops
The sight of a thousand angels stands before him

Both stare in wonderment
A small sigh is heard as she lays her head on his chest
He stares into the distance and wraps his arms around her

I know it's been forever since I last posted, so I hope this appeases you. I've been feeling the poetic muse visiting me again, so hopefully there will be more to follow.
Cheers!
