Array ( [sid] => 90377 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Sea Captain [time] => 2005-04-08 22:00:23 [hometext] => A poem about time, and what we all will have in common as age descends on our youth. [bodytext] => Remember when the days were young
And you were not so old

The sea was all you knew and loved
The mast, the sky, your home

The stars, the wind, the mist and fog
The wild sea by night

Did dance upon your every thought
And gave each delight

But now you sit upon the land
Without a ship at your command

With only thoughts of a bygone past
You sit and wish, the years were young

And you were not so old [comments] => 2 [counter] => 170 [topic] => 14 [informant] => rrr-1947 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DreamsandWishes )

But now you sit upon the land
Without a ship at your command

With only thoughts of a bygone past
You sit and wish, the years were young

And you were not so old

Lovely, rrr-1947!
I like anything about the sea, so I really like this one.
Maybe you could take a look at my poem/ song called The Wind In The Rigging if you haven't already done so.
The ocean is my home.
I need to be a sailor.
But what can I do, I'm just a girl. Well, maybe not Just A Girl, but still, I am no woman. Not yet.
Anyroad, I love this! It brings me to a life unlived.

Thanks for sharing your great poetry.
Keep it up!
