The Morning Ferry
The Morning Ferry
The silence within the sway,
Only the engine's chugging out its tune,
Conversations in hushed whispers,
Screen lit faces send out morning greetings,
Others swim the social pools,
Silhouetted birds fly low across the waters,
The darkness giving way to morning's smile,
Dawn cast pilgrims venture 'cross the strait,
Foamy trails cut by those brave to pass
Are soon returned and swallowed by the sea,
Just the waves can whisper of these wanderers
As their turgid torsos buffer boats along,
The pinkish hue lends backdrop to the clouds,
The fog horn blast proclaiming our arrival,
We are here.
