A Deck, or Two
Star light, star bright…

I stand on top deck in the middle of the night…
The moon shines unconditionally at me…
In light that is neither too hurtful to the eyes, or bright
I can look directly at the moon…
It is so beautiful and round…
A mattress with fresh deep green bed spread has been courteously laid out on top deck…
I flounce on it, staring up into the clear lit sky…
An ocean so wide… the soft gentle swaying vessel and gallant breeze….
A few other like vessels litter the ocean and that is all….
Susurrations of a gentle breeze….
The light lapping of the clear pristine blue waters against the side of the silent craft
Is beautiful
