A family song inspired by the great conjunction of December 2021
The great conjunction of the 21st century
by Renee Wilken Nash
The Merilie, a good companion
Built with love, besides the sea,
There on the beach, awaiting adventure
Point Magu Is the place to be
A ship was built, to easily handle
The tides of lagoon, or bounding waves
The perilous coast, of California
The cap i tán experienced and brave
If you ever wanted, To join this captain
And sail alongside, This Danish man
This year it’s offered, A gift of good times
To travelers of Distant lands
In times of trouble, and separation
Two planets grew, so close in view
We left our screens, cast aside caution
With Grampa Utt n Dad Robertson
We row the boat, Out past the shoreline
Just past sunset, we trim the sail
All life’s troubles, left at the coastline
Breathing in, a dreamy tale
If you ever wanted, to join this captain
and sail alongside, This Mexican man
This year it’s offered, A gift of good times
To travelers of those distant lands
There are no gifts, this sweet evening
Except a sky, ablaze with stars
And a sweet joy, of all companions
The sun has set, and the view is ours
See the conjunction, on the Merilie
An accordian, plays from afar
Saturn and Jupiter, have come together,
one giant, superstar.
If you ere want, to join this captain
and sail alongside, This American man
This year it’s offered, A gift of good times
for travelers of distant lands..
