This Cruise of the Night (leaves of Unrequitable)

At a lone seaside cabin
At dusk of an evening
Arriving all worn out
From talking and laughing, drinking and eating
And the dwindling day
Makes the glow from inside
Light the porch like the prow of a Mystery ship
Afloat on a high-rolling sea of dark waves
As if poised to sail off to some starry domain
And yet... drifting,
    a little uncertain, a little off course
Since we who are guiding this cruise of the night
Find ourselves all at once rather timid and shy
In the uncharted waters
    of just you and I ...
