A Song

Words used: water, shadow, chill, distant, skyline, cloud, travel, sailboat, rock, dorsal

A Song

A comforter, like water, spread
Across the shadows in my room
The chill of night was held at bay
A distant skyline pierced the gloom.

No cloud came sailing overhead,
My sailboat held me in its grasp.
A rock stood out like dorsal fin
And shocked from me a single gasp

As I awoke and shed the dream.
I felt the comfort of my home
And felt a song begin to float
Until I rose and wrote this poem.
