Tides

Written at the high tides a few weeks ago...
 
Tides
 
Azure waves in dark blue night
Splashing over the promenade
White flecked, caught in light
Reflecting the heaven starred
 
Tides flowing on a Perquage way
Lantern bobbing, on nearing float
For now is time to flee away
Granite steps to the rescue boat
 
Gently, softly, departing shore
Farewell tears meet ocean flow
Boat sails quiet in the tidal roar
And above in peace, a starry glow
 
Into night's domain, across the bay
Remember me, as I leave today
