In the wake of poseidon

She held the pearl to her lips

Pushing it between her little teeth to shine

In waters crystal clear and reflective

I caused a certain dancing around the eyes

Spellbound! I was cast in an unlikely role

Seafarer, captain of the ship

I cut the lines to shore and said her prayers of honor

Did I mention the pearl was gray?

So in the wake of Poseiden did we reach and stretch

Up and out and towards

Dancing beneath all stars to behold

Now these are lazy scenes to paint

But it’s the breeze, the soft warm summer breeze

That I most wish to convey

A tempest without sound

Sneaking up on us in seagull cries

And her bubles and gurgles from down below

So out there we were all alone

In the wake

Drifting to and further fro

Caught between delight and what you know
