Inspired upon the mystic shore of; "The Glistening Sea"

"THE GLISTENING SEA"
 
"THE MYSTIC SHIPS AT SEA"

Fog horn and
crystalline light beams
on a foggy night, light
...upon a mysterious hill top.

Out of the inky black
there appears an ancient vessel.
Though to all appearances
she is merely a mirage,
adrift in the distance.

Gray haze of spirits drift about her.
Comes then, a clarifying breeze
sweeping across the sea

Wherefore a brilliant light appears,
like a ball of a thousand night stars.
It seems to dance about the ship.

With each pass she collects
another spirit stream,
within her tenderness.

Each time ...
the star beams brighter,
as these beings of light
gather unto her.

The light on the coast hill
glows dim,
against the brightest star
you have ever seen.

And out of the heavens
there comes a starship
glancing across the sea.

She heaves and breathes
and pulls to her,
this brightest star
and enters there she in.

Where all the surface of the ship
glistens upon the sea
so brightly lit with colours
you have never before seen.

Bearing the power
of the light within,
does she fly away?

No she does not.
She simply dissipates,
vanishing ... before our very eyes,
into the darkness of the night.
