Two Swallows Show
Two swallows show my fearlessness,
The will to self defence at any hour,
A badge to state my peerlessness,
Aye — any foe I’ll brazenly devour!
Two swallows show good providence,
The passage through the storm again to land,
My peace of mind is evidence,
That to dry ground I’ll sail and duly stand.
Two swallows show adventuring—
The length at sea traversed with brawn and grit,
Ten thousand miles of venturing,
On rolling waves beyond the sandy spit.
Two swallows show my solitude,
Fearless months upon the rolling sea,
The birds suggest the amplitude,
Of my great lust to greet Infinity.
Two swallows show my kith an kin—
Men that call the ocean span their home,
Though on the air we’ll sing again;
“Land ho me boys!” exclaimed through twilight gloam…
