'' The Crows Nest ''

'' The Crows Nest ''

A Poem by Dwayne J. Keeves

The ship sailed across the sea; in it's fashionable way.
Decks all mopped, and sails filled with gentle wind blow.
The captain's quarter's; hosting important minds as first
hand officer direct's the ship's path.

Should the vision of enemies ships cross it's path; there's
a look out, high above the decks floor. A single long standing
pole hosting step after step going high into the sky.
A basket of some type; with a bottom hole to enter in.

The basket, supports a look out man, a spy or even call him 
what you may. He sits in the place of what is called:

The Crows Nest. That's the place to be to scout harm far before
it comes near. It must take one of great courage, to climb 
high like the sky sitting firmly and patiently, in the crows nest.

As the crow's themselves, sits high on a tree branch, crying
out warnings to his mates; so does the ship's crew member who
sit's in his nest, waiting to cry and to warn.

We must be grateful for that man in the basket just as we should be for everyone dispensing such difficult duties and tasks to keep us safe, in comfort. So beautifully written...
