Hi! A note from Ruby, your author here! I'm glad you've made it this far
and I hope you'll enjoy this collection of all things Pirate-ish...and if you
review it'd make me happier than Jack Sparrow with a whole crate of rum!
(*Thankyou very much to Pendragonnink for your advice! As you can see, I've
taken it...and it made my day to know you enjoyed the poem so much!*)
This poem is about a Captain Pirate and his new baby. It's only my first try, so don't forget to let me know what you think! It may not seem to make any sense because I made it too metaphorical......
Sparrow in the Nest
Your eyes have more depth than any ocean
I drown as I look into them
Bluer than any sky
The envious sun looks dull, compared to your radiance
Your tiny fingers enclose around mine
A ship, holding onto its anchor
Your life lies before you
An unsailed sea, a new horizon
Write your words upon the water
I will not hold you back
Don't let me be your anchor
Fly, higher than any gull
Write your story in the stars
Your tiny heart beats freedom,
Follow it, follow it.....
You will never be a lone ship, my child,
Let me be the wheel
Steer you from all harm
Guard you from the storm
I have no compass
And know not of any direction
Yet you know, wherever I am
You can find me
The Father-ship
Always waiting for your safe return
You, my child are more precious to me
Than all the gold in any cavern
In any world, any ship, anywhere
