poem for dad

before the solemn bronze saint
the agony of having too much power
with joy and wonder
see, from this counterfeit of him
i made a vow once, one only
it was many and many a year ago
i love to steal awhile away
to clothe the fiery thought
a life on the ocean wave
now for a brisk and cheerful fight
tell me less or tell me more
they may talk of love in a cottage
