Anne briggs

Standing on the shore

Anne briggs
Through the mist my ship has sailed,
Leaving me behind,
All the things left unsaid
That were in my mind.

When I stood on its deck
Strangely things I saw
Strangely they have vanished now
Standing on the shore.

Memories of the seas I sailed,
Lands I gazed upon.
When I turned to draw the chart
All of them were gone.

When I stood on its deck
Strangely things I saw
Strangely they have vanished now
Standing on the shore.

Sandy hills lying round,
Nothing standing clear
Softly light is falling through
Time was never here.

Headlands fading out of sight,
Horizons disappear
Hazy shores and silent seas,
Nothing do I hear.

Air and water, grass and sand,
Merging into one
In the silence of all this
I am still alone.

The logbook closed, the ship has gone
As it has done before
Where it sails no tongue can tell,
No one was on board.
