Sailing
Sailing
On the waters
Toward a blue horizon
Far beyond the ocean's bound'ry,
Out there...
On the waters
Toward a blue horizon
Far beyond the ocean's bound'ry,
Out there...
Carried
By gently undulating waves
Across the vast expanse
Of time and tide,
I sail.
Steady
Are my hands upon the rudder
Of my tiny vessel
As I now sail
Onward.
Nothing
Will deter me
From my destination;
I will sail, always fixed upon
My course.
Someday,
I will arrive
At that blue horizon -
The meeting place of sun and sky
And sea...

I totally want to experience this some day! :)
excellent article:)
I love the poem and I love the picture! I think sailboat pictures are my favorite! Years ago I searched and searched for a large sailboat picture for my living room but I never found one that I liked. I've moved since then and a sailboat picture wouldn't work in my living room now. I wish I were half as talented as you! Mike, you really have a way with words. Does it come easy to you? 5*
Sailing is so peaceful. You really captured that.
Well done, Mike. Steer that ship!
Sailing is one experience in which loneliness can be beautiful. Thanks for the sentiments.
Very nice, Mike.
Lovely imagery.
In a way, it is like our voyage of life as we slowly moves towards our destination. Makes me reflect on my life. Soulful poem, Mike - siva
