St. Elmo's Fire

St. Elmo's Fire

Tossing and turning in the waves,

lifted out of the sea-night,

we woke up next to each other,

our bodies wrapped in sails.

The great discoverers,

on their wind-worn

carracks,

long for such a night.

After a life of searching for a

simple truth,

a sudden break in the weather reveals

all I've been longing to find.
