Cast ashore

We were like strangers
cast ashore
Unaware of the dangers
lurking flotsam of sweet autumn days
castaway memories of fog and rain
glistening hair in the salt winds
upon the masts fluttered a colourful lint

We were like strangers
cast ashore
caught up in tales and lore
Talking up seemingly forevermore

We were like strangers
cast ashore
won't be caught reminiscing
our days of yore

Among the dunes I looked about
A glance stole away above the waves
like then, the tide was going out
and the bow inside me heaved and gave

Months went by, time just a score
a lone frigate on lee, dutiful ranger
In its wake I finally wake
We were like strangers
cast ashore
