Upon a Lunar Sea (for Kevin Ayers 14/8/44 -18/2/13 R.I.P)


A tribute to one of my favourite
singer, songwriters.

Upon a Lunar Sea 

We sailed upon a lunar sea
passed cracks in horizons, 
with submerged dreams 
plunged the depths of oceans. 

Under the influence of heady, sweet wine
moved towards nearest perimeter, 
primal navigators, looking like stowaways
taking many directions
we couldn't find our way back home. 

Following  blossoming fragments that made    
                                                         us  sway 
as the wind tore the clothes right of our 
                                                         backs,
lost kind souls kept on calling 
in the distance we saw the twinkling of lights,
heard bells that softly rang, like voices of the      
                                                         elements. 

A rainbow tribe joined the congregation 
our playground full of adventure, 
helped rid ourselves of staleness 
as we tumbled, roared  through time and space. 

Stars sang, as we sailed on through 
with our slurred words of endurance, 
as pages rained down, littered with inspiration
and riptides toar us away, from deep swells of trouble. 

While a shaman blew his wisdom, with soft gentle breath 
the music of the spheres played on and on, 
and  the deeper we sang, we discovered 
everyone is love.
