Upon the Caribbean's azure tide, A secret drifts, where mysteries hide, A touch of salt, a spray of sea, A calling to you and to me.

A message penned on weathered scroll, A summons that the curious patrol, A wink of stars, a lighthouse glare, A connection formed in salty air.

A moment shared 'neath sails unfurled, A puzzle wrapped in ocean's swirled, 24 waves 'gainst the ship's stern knock, A meeting held on hidden dock.

No face, no form, no handshake true, A riddle danced in twilight's hue, A bond that forms then ebbs away, A memory held for just one day.

Explore the isles, seek the mark, Engage the game, the secret's spark, A maze of reefs, a path uncharted, An abstract dream or truth departed?

So let your heart and compass guide, Embrace the unknown, take the ride, The answer lies in shadows vast, A future link to secrets passed.
