Pirates Cross the Sky



Tall dark buccaneer
Sails a thund’rous horizon
Beckoning grey ships

Pirate’s fake slumber
Cool friends softly blow
Breezes kiss against the cheeks

Alas the black flag rises
Two pale bones cross late
Lightning cleaves fierce mates

Fast the ship descends
Terror marks the sky
Bountiful the grey ships bleed

Tumult’ous affair
Dark buccaneer changes pace
Calming seas give chase

Fine purple linen
Scarlet-orange primrose
Great buccaneer now slumbers

Quiet horizon
Wispy ghosts of ships
Vanish from all sight

Noble star ascends
Evening guide of ancient days
From black velvet peeks

Blazing fires arise
Stream blue, red, and white
Harvests of bountiful light

With thund’rous fanfare
Crowd’s applause defends
Cascades of pirate delight

Quickened murmurs pray
Merry crickets fiddle strong
Buccaneer’s parade
