| Night Ships By David © 2003 A chance encounter Nothing planned Two passing ships Two seeking hands A tender touch A soft embrace The brush of lips A far off place A gentle sea A star filled night Two ships that pass Two souls in flight The lilting swell Of hopeful hearts A longing gaze The journey starts Two ships draw near On ocean blue To common port To haven, true A whispered dream A hope that’s shared Lives cast adrift Two souls are bared A chance encounter Happenstance Two ships that pass Through circumstance |
