ON THE SEA

ON THE SEA ...


Un anchored  we smoothly sailed along  
surrendering to nature singing a happy song  
adjusting our sails to the winds of time 
with faith in the captain our hearts just chimed.

Was it a ship or a small  fascinating town 
Moving in the vast  ocean up and down 
Happy smiling faces with excitement around,
The waves roaring softly with a welcoming sound.

A group of  chirpy lucky thirteen seniors
Cousins meeting after ages from far and near 
Dining and dancing letting our hair down 
No children around to disapprove and frown .

In the midst of a shimmering strong  Baltic sea 
We  sail feeling  bonded ,awesome and free 
The  silver peaked waves lash  around 
None on the earth own their roaring sound .

The journey started from Copenhagen town 
Denmark the happiest country in the world countdown 
A city of canals and smiling faces for sure 
An enchanting  place to start our exciting tour .

Late night celebrations and a good sleep 
We wake up in Germany with the ships beep 
Beautiful Watermunde and Rosstock we roam 
There is folk dancing singing in the square under the dome .

Our next Port in Estonia is it's picturesque Tallin ,
The kissing sculpture a tribute to love that wins ,
The huge victory Column  and the Freedom  square
Reminds us of  the Russian war and the independence fair .

SaintPetersurg in Russia our most awaited destination ,
Awesome city of Palaces ,Cathedrals  and monuments ,
The majestic  bronze horse with Saint Peter atop ,
The stunning Church on spilled blood was our next  stop .

And now we entered the land of mid nights  sun ,
It's Helsinki in Finland  full of reindeers and flowery fun ,
The huge  white Cathedral where a live band played 
The markets were filled with exotic fruits we craved .

The next was  Stockholm in Sweden our last dream port,
We roamed the  city in a hip hop bus and boat  in great sport 
A mirage of Terracota  monuments  shimmering in the blue sea 
The Vasa shipwreck and the museum  enfolded the mystery .

Alas the last day on the ship was embraced with a sad sigh ,
We had gathered and bonded in the sea under the blue sky ,
We danced and sang  together till we no longer could 
We promised each other to repeat this and we should !!!!!
