No parting crowds
Only darkness
Eternity to the bay
Swimming out
From bright harbour light
Yearning sanctuary

Like some contrite cetacean
In the night
Of a dark ocean
The bitter taste of brine
Fallen stars
The only
Aids to navigation

There's a lovely atmosphere created here but perhaps a little tightening up would aid meaning.
