Here's a poem I wrote. Hope you like it. Feedback welcome, whether it be flame or praise. Thankie!

The lone horn peals throughout the sky,

It's piercing sound to seek my heart.

Now we must leave, though I ask why

The Sea doth call and we depart?

The grey ship lingers by the shore,

Yet seems so far and distant now.

Ne'er had sorrow *stinged more,

Than what message decks the prow.

Now leaving from this land are we

And sailing to a land beyond,

And leaving but a memory

Of what we were when we belonged.
Now tears meet eye and then they fall

And break like glass would unto stone.

No more grievous seemed that wall

That seemed to say we are alone.
The lone horn peals throughout the sky,

It's piercing sound to seek my heart.

Now we must leave,

though I ask why

The Sea doth call and we depart?
*The "ed" is prounounced as a syllable.
