Deep Blue Sea

I do not care for sleep, I’ll wait awhile     
For Love to come out of the darkness, wait    
For laughter, gifted with the frequent fate    
Of dusk-lit hope, to touch me with the smile     
Of moon and star and joy of that last mile     
Before I reach the sea. The ships are late    
And mayhap laden with the precious freight    
Dawn brings from Life’s eternal summer isle.

And should I find the sweeter fruits of dream—
The oranges of love and mating song—
I’ll laugh so true the morn will gayly seem 
Endless and ships full laden with a throng 
Of beauty, dreams and loves will come to me 
Out of the surge of yonder silver sea.

William Moore was an American poet and journalist.
