Nostalgic memories flow
As the shanty sea's song
The ship tosses too and froe
The past short, once gone
Smiles, tears shed in emotion's wake
A wave of serenity, of placidity comes
In the present's overwhelming quake
Mended by the melody he only hums
For the words escape him surely
The pain and toil now it numbs
Posseses dearly and purely
Waves wash away life's deliriums
