I set sail in the night, I’ve traveled for years

Beneath starlit skies, under amethyst tears

Gently falling, from clouds, into the sea

I watch them, slowly, gather round me

And circle about, this mist, in the dark

Creating a wondrous, beautiful spark

Casting their glow, how my boat shines with them

Like the crown of a queen, Heaven’s own diadem

One lonely lantern, set the stage, for a show

Dotting each flower, with its luminous glow

Making the darkness dance, in the light

Like dozens of fireflies, to brighten the night

Silently, beguiling, with its magic, it creates

Peaceful and calming, each moment, sedate

Never really alone, with its radiance, incandescent

This one little light, making moments, effervescent

A different white light, in a star filled sky

Illuminated by night, as it drifts on by

A glow in the dark, shining down upon us

Leaving its mark, soon disappears, and thus

Hides the greatness, of Jupiter’s might

Til it shines in the lateness, again, ever bright

I was invited by Pancho, for brunch
Said it was time, to meet the whole bunch
So, I went to his villa, found out he’s a guerilla
Still, he knew how to serve a great lunch

So we ate, drank, and talked for hours
About his army, and all of his powers
I left, in a hurry, before my eyes got too blurry
Poor Pancho, things were looking quite dour

Well, that was the last time I saw him
Seems he knew that his chances were slim
Said goodbye to his men, never heard from again
Now they all sit around, rather grim

I held my place, upon the shore
Watched the boats in the harbor, glide
They kept their distance, thanks to me
And I was filled, with a sense of pride

For I was the one to watch over
The boats that passed through, each day
Making sure, they were safe from harm
As they made their way, into the bay

Their sails did fly, against the wind
Easier now, then from the seas
Flapping and swaying, in a rhythmic dance
Guided by me and the Nantucket breeze
