Phantom Ships that Pass in the Night
shimmering ripplles on the lakes below
the full moon's eerie silver glow
in the stillness of the summers night
reveal weird shadows in translucent light
strange forms take shape tall masts and spars
like fairy wands, touch the twinkling stars
then through the magic of mind and sight
we see the phantom ships that pass in the night
unfolding the mysteries of long, long ago
lost vessels and crews lying deep down below
return as ghosts and sail on once more
toward that beacon light on the distant shore
the master of all ships is now in command
the course is charted to that promised land
not a sound breaks the silence in the pale moonlight
on those phantom ships that pass in the night
by- poet & great lakes buff
