Alla Arjun
exhorts the crowd
To dance, to meet Santa
to cheer for Goa.
On the top deck
the sun sets slowly.
As we move to dock
Another cruise ship
almost rams us.
It turns ever so sharply
on the dark waters
And is soon alongside.
Pressing on towards the bridge
Leaving eddies in its wake.
She's gone like a soul
a life behind her.
As I salute her
For the life
Of a friend
who has passed on
to paradise.
