Upon the waves where endless blue expands,  A ship awakens with a *creaking* sigh.  She lifts her sails like outstretched, eager hands,  And dances where the gulls and sea winds fly.  Her wooden bones *groan* deep, yet strong they stand,  Her heart—a compass, spinning true and bold.  She cuts the tides with swift, commanding hand,  A warrior cloaked in sunlight’s gold.  The ocean sings, a voice both fierce and bright,  Its rolling depths, a slumbering beast below.  The ship, like thunder, carves the waves in flight,  A fleeting shadow where the whitecaps glow.  Yet when the stars blink low and call her home,  She dreams in harbors kissed by silver foam.
