Safe Sailing

By Bruce Clifford

Safe sailing
Bon Voyage
I’m not with you
The weather rages on

Captions and callings
Memories are falling
Safe sailing, Bon Voyage

In the distance I can still see the lighthouse
She’s got some glow in her in iridescent ways
If we see tomorrow then I would have spoken too soon
The storm is knocking and it’s still far away

Safe sailing
Leave me behind
All that empathy
The words are hard to find

Moments of empty space
Then filled with waves
Onward and upward
What will be left to save
Safe sailing, Bon Voyage

Memories are calling
The sky is falling
I’m not with you
The weather rages on
