WATERFALL


I stand upon this lush green earth
To wait for what will come
The tendrils creeping softly now
To greet the morning sun.

The mist she is my sister
My brother is the sea
My family are the raindrops
That fall softly around me.

Dewdrops upon the sails
Condensation on the oar
I stand and watch the morning tide
As I have done before.

It's hard for me to think now
It was so long ago
That I was standing by your side
Sailing tidal flow.

I remember that spot you took me
When upon we reached the land
You showed me that great waterfall
And softly held my hand.

It was morning too, that day
With mist upon the water
We did not speak a word; just stood
A pirate and his daughter.

Silence is as silence does
A time set to reflect
We sat beneath the waterfall
And took time to connect.

But that never lasted long
That precious memory
Blocked out by the blood I've spilled
Upon the seven seas.

Just like the mist over waterfalls,
My memories are not whole.
They fade and flicker on a whim,
Like whispers of a soul.

Upon this wooden deck I stand
Staring at the sea
Father I'll soon be with you
My necklace now hangs free.

It's time to dance the hempen jig
In chains of iron wrought
They'll strangle me here upon the gallows
Until my breath is naught.

Strength, powerful, passions last...GREAT write!!
