Verse: Strange Sailing

Oh sweet stranger, where haven’t we been
Watching sunsets on granite steps over Aberdeen
Stringing beads for the big easy around New Orleans
Farming terrace, feeling careless in the Philippines

Accra, Ghana; Okinawa; Darwin to Seoul
Split, Croatia; spiced Grenada feeling our pull
Endless bars on George Street, next day damage control
We will keep on moving ’til our longing is full

Love, look at us, two minds of a kind
Building castles on planes astral like some king on the Rhine
Hiking Chile, living easy, drinking all of the wine
Sailing rivers like the Tiber through the Apennines

Malá Strana, Czech Republic; la vie bohème
Sierre, Lyon, skipping pebbles along the Rhone
We will keep on moving til we both reach our home
Lost and star-crossed, brisk wanderlust making us roam
