ShIP rEK
Calm me as the breeze
Calms my heart before it seizes
Wait for my steps
To catch up with your dance
That drifts as violins
On silken moonbeams
Caressing sands of time
Calm as the seas
Reflecting all
On earths mirror
Deceiving the turmoil beneath
Undercurrents that tear at the mud
Revealing
Ancient shipwrecks of emotion.
Hauled to the surface for all to see
Chaos of twisted metal
Glints in the light of your eyes
The waters fall away like a mercurial cloak
Your touch restores the order
Of the drowned and the fallen
So call to me now,
Rescue the Mariner
Lost in the Oceans, sunk beneath the flood
Take me as your own, calm again my heart
Cool my boiling blood, take me for your lover.

I love the 'mercurial cloak', Pete.
