She is but a passing shadow flitting across the moonlit sea Wandering waves roaming their ripples in search of her next ship to board Steered by starlight she journeys to fresh horizons constellations mapped many moons ago with no route to a harbor or home Yet, a paradox in this pattern of flight a sudden urge to reach for the ties severed by her departure With each anchored vessel and fleeting bond formed her endless...

A summer house-boat party - Matey - toss those cares overboard. The scout boat found a deserted cove so the party can be privately fierce.

I’ll ruin his plans; I’ll fight and survive, with no real supplies, I’ll conquer and thrive, till justice I’ll demand.
