Lantern on water
With five thousand lights
And smoke from fire in centre

Bluenose II schooner –
Canada’s ship on its dimes –
Nova Scotia’s ship

Small boat steered into
The wake of a big ship for
A little joy ride

Notes to this poem…
First ferry ride in
Many months took the scenic
Route around the back –
Of a big container ship –
Leaving the harbour slowly

Alone with the stars –
On the cruise ship Helideck –
For an hour each night –
Lets me dream before I sleep –
Much funner than counting sheep
