Dancing On The Water.

Goldfinch60



They glide along with effortless ease,

Sliding past each other, in this strange dance.

Bulging bellies full of the breath

That comes from the blowing wind.

Turning together, as though linked,

The water sliding beneath them,

With a sound of sibilance

Only heard by those close by.

They dance with each other on the waves,

This dance that seems to have no meaning;

The only music, the sounds of nature,

Spilling from the water and the wind.

 

Until at the last the horn booms out

Signalling that a yacht has won this race.

      Such an easy read. It was smooth sailing for me. It's an amazing sight to see them propelled through the water with just the silent wind as power.

        You capture the essence of wind and water with this beautifully fluid piece. I can almost feel the motion, and the wind on my face. Bravo!
