Analysis of Treasure ship
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
As twilight plays with the gentle breeze
dawning skies painting magnificent pictures
on new horizons.
A treasure ship drifts ever further on
on its journey to destination beyond
on the wind and sea
as we dream away the hours
warm and cozy by the fireside
beyond restrictions of time and space
locked in each other’s eyes,
heart and mind holding for dear life
to each other
With a firm, warm loving embrace,
you deliver here to my heart
comes from exotic faraway places
i love you for that, too.
The best of what exists within me
responds in kind, returning
Upon its own journey
back to you
