boat
the current calls
will you carry me
unfurl your sail
then let us drift together
beneath the sun
the lazy breeze
knows me well
and to where I’m bound
~
boat
raise a little wake
for me
that I might feel the salt
and spray
as though we sail
for pleasure
my friend the breeze
has riffled my shirt
and you
are steadfast
~
boat
let’s circle once
this island
the surf
broken on a shoal
the harbor
then tell the breeze
that I am ready
to ride the current
and her sweet luff
home
~

Beautiful, I was in that boat.
Excellent. Thank you GF.
Frank, anybody who ever sailed will agree that this is a beautiful poem about the special feelings that only come with going with the wind!
High praise, Fred. Thank you.
I tend to go with the wind more and more these days lol 🙂 This is a super write Fred and conjures up such great images.
Hurricane Michael, blows again!? Oh dear.
We had quite a gale here the night before last and I've now got a bit of chimney damage - something else to sort out.
I saw some shocking pictures on the news just now Michael. Big winds and severe damage. Sorry for poor joking.
