You, Me and the Open Sea

 

You, Me and the Open Sea - Part One

(for Ella on her third birthday xx)

 

Just you, me and the open sea,

in a boat with a big white sail.

We’ll ride the surf and laugh with glee,

said the centipede to the snail.

 

We’ll point our boat towards the sun

as it sets on the edge of the land.

We’ll sing sea songs and have some fun

as we sail away from the sand.

 

You can search the waves for silver stars

to brighten the blackest night sky,

then catch them in your wee glass jars

before hanging them out to dry.

 

I myself will fish for a moon,

said the centipede with a smile.

I know I’ll net one really soon,

if not in a very short while.

 

We’ll light the dark with fairy lights

and just wait for a lullaby

of mermaids bringing golden kites,

then off to our dreams we will fly.
