Your impeccable rhythm and rhyme, wonderful story telling and glorious imagery makes me want to read this poem over and over again. A sad ending, but I can cope with this as the poem is so beautiful.....10 love Karin

this is so beautiful read aloud....and so enchanting until the last lines when we realize the loved one is on the ship... never to return.... (sad!)

Thank you, this makes reading poetry so worthwhile. Have to read a lot to come across the occasional one like this. Had such good luck today..(smile)
Fantastic visuals...beautiful...extremely well written
