Flying your vessel
With a siren’s wail,
I am the only way
To steer my course,
For you, my Captain
Leapt for the sea
Leeward without me.
I know nothing, alone
In the no-go zone…
But re-wind me
With a bellow, Captain,
I’ll come back to you
About the next puff,
For with you I’d sail
Every sunset of time
Even in waters rough.
(I wrote this in 2015 while living in Colorado and learning to sail. I’ve really been wanting to jump ship and sail away lately, lol. I still have some old writing published 🙂
