I am not yet born; provide me
With water to dandle me, grass to grow for me, trees to talk
to me, sky to sing to me, birds and a white light
in the back of my mind to guide me.
Louis Macneice, Prayer Before Birth

Whenever the moon and stars are set,
Whenever the wind is high,
All night long in the dark and wet,
A man goes riding by.
Late in the night when the fires are out,
Why does he gallop and gallop about?

Whenever the trees are crying aloud,
And ships are tossed at sea,
By, on the highway, low and loud,
By at the gallop goes he.
By at the gallop he goes, and then
By he comes back at the gallop again.
Robert Louis Stevenson, Windy Nights

I Heard It Through The Grapevine, Creedence Clearwater Revival

Wooden Ships, Crosby Stills Nash and Young

Anytime music by CCR or CSN&Y is provided for entertainment, it elevates the main creation John. Although your work needs no elevating. 😁
Great title and beautiful work. I learned a long time ago not to linger under a roost. I think I will just stand back and admire the beauty.
Super work per usual.

Another wonderful work with bright colors John.

"And ships are tossed at sea" - Don't I know that one :)

A part of the lyrics of CSN&Y song:

the Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy,
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be,
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be,
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy...
Horror grips us as we watch you die,
All we can do is echo your anguished cries,
Stare as all human feelings die,
We are leaving - you don't need us.

Great contribution (render, quotes, and music links) again, John!
