the sailors song.

by: Cameron Sebastian.

The night is fading away, ending.

And here I stand humming to myself, a diddy I once heard when I was young.

I don't remember all of the song of course, only bits and pieces of the tune float in and out of my mind. But still it never leaves, never fades  like the unforgiving light.

It's faint memory always lingers, a comfort to me in times of sorrow.(The song has always acted as such for my paranoia brimmed brain.) and there were many moments in my life where that song was the last staple In my sanity. The only thing pulling me from the nightmares and saving me from my fears. It makes sense that an old man would cling to such a thing.

My body is withering away in the briny air and my mind will soon be mush but until the day comes that the sea claims my soul, I will hum and I will remember.  that song. That ship. That life.
