The winter harbor wears a coat of quiet frost
The summer crowd has packed their bags and paid the cost
I tie the knots and pull the heavy ropes on the dock
The tourist map is scribbled with a compass and a clock
But now my window looks across the open sea
No postcard ever frames the morning routine breeze
The gulls all know my whistle and they know my name
The captain tells me that the ocean has no shame
I learn the tides the way the monks learn how to read
And every port becomes a different need
The schedule marks the month like the railroad lines
A long string of beaches stitched across the shorelines
The captain says we'll anchor while the tourists all sleep
Another cycle of the waves becomes my working week
The sand is now my daily office floor
The endless rows of palm trees line the shore
Deck chairs in the sun
Roll with every wave that has come
And that feeling has become my own
There's a peace I have finally known
The seasons all blur
The weather reports just begin to stir
I measure days in foreign port names
Each anchorage forgets the ones who came
All the same
The ferry horns announce the sailing dates
The season's fruit arrives in heavy wooden crates
I watch the oranges turn into limes
We sail until the island tower tolls the chimes
The menus are printed in three languages now
I know the berth by heart before the ropes allow
Another island week begins with handing out the maps
I've memorized the coral reefs and fishing traps
Every local waves at me with patient smiles
The souvenir vendors line the market aisles
The sunset cruise is always sold at double price
And still I find the rhythm of the waves precise
The engine hums a lullaby I used to hear each night
Another berth becomes the bedroom that I know by sight
December always feels like early spring
The ropes have long since forgotten the sting
Deck chairs in the sun
Roll with every wave that has come
The calendar is written in blue
Every island change is overdue
No lease on the sea
I pay my rent with every port I see
The compass rose is my only key
And every quiet harbor welcomes me
By the sea
