My muse sails with many sailors
Much like when we sail our ship
Guiding one another through the blue and black skies of life
Navigating by the stars
Calculating latitudes with your golden astrolabe
Your trusty compass always at your side, a gift, Christmas 1855
Engraved: Time is but a twinkling of an eye in eternity.
***
The duality of us all is a wondrous thing
For I am the stars and you are the moon, my mariner muse
I feel him every night, the pull of the moon shining bright
Controlling the tides, high and low, day and night
You travel the seas, all over the world, a constant for them, for me
As I, a constant for you, your North Star shining the brightest of all
I pray you ignore any siren’s call
***
If I yearn for you I look up at the night sky
You are always there glowing, my moon, my mariner muse
As I am always in the stars for you
We shall never fear of you losing your way
We shall guide and comfort each other every day
Till you find your way back to me
Till I get you back from the sea.
You Lil Dickens
