I am in love with the sea
She sings to me every day
A Siren, calling me to her.
In my mind, once again I answer that call,
Ghosting along in my boat,
A ten knot wind pushing me,
Main plump with the breeze.
My tiller quivers to be set free
Soon I am at that wondrous place
That place where the ocean transforms into deepwater blue
Shore falls away
Leaving me alone at last with the sea.
Fellow travelers are scattered about me.
Small heeling dots on the horizon
Headed for faraway places, too.
Restless… LIKE ME.
Rooted now only to water,
No connection to land.
Onward we glide…
Bound towards a shoreless world,
Anticipating the new,
Forgetting the old.
How can they stand it?
Being so stuck to the ground?
Not relishing the beauty of the Sea?
