the sleeping beauty

The red eyes
Waking up to the sky
The magic glow strikes
The sleeping beauty smile

On the smooth sail
The blue sky white clouds
On the deck the court jesters drink
Toast for a good year harvest
Ringing it loud with the embracing breeze

The flags of yellow
Popping up along the sea
The sleeping beauty dreams
Rubbing his eyes
He wants to see

The weather changes
In a minute he sails into rough sea
The sleeping beauty eyes in fear
The popping yellow flags are free

The court jesters salute
Ahoy……..island on sight
Don’t be afraid just go to sleep

The sleeping beauty goes below deck
Into the cabin sleep takes shape
The yellow flags nagging the glow
Carving out holes stripping it away
Lying to the natural forces
Waking up with hotspots
There is no sound of the court jesters
Only the lapping of waves
On the white sandy beach
Nobody to say hello
“Aiyo……I am alone!”
