Veiled Threat

And through the fog
The veiled threat charges
Light at the stern
Hands at the mast

Her eyes ablaze
With verses sung long ago
Her heart ablaze
With promises spoke long ago

She watches the rest
With veiled amusement
High on their power
And self-aggrandisement

The things they believe to be true
And the folly that follows
Turning bow on the ship
Heading straight for the hollow

Their laughs echo hollow
In the dead of the night
The dark cutting through
With no sign of the light

But the light, it still shines
In the skies up above
As she sails her ship by stars
Back home, to her love
