Sailing

Quiet
Waves against the bow
Wind in my face
Birds near

Peace
Watch the sail
Feel the waves
A rope in my hand

Power
Air moving bulk
Tense mast
Strained sails
Smile in my soul

Hope
Worries on shore
Problems not here
All is well
Nothing but now

Finished
Driving on the road
In my soul on the wind
In my spirit ever sailing

Dreams
On the bluewater
My boat, the open, me
Always wind, freedom
