Flicker slip
Take a nip
Time to board
That sailing
ship
Sail upon an
uncharted sea
With some familiarity
In many ways
the same, and yet
There’s
always something new to me
My ship, she braves
The frothy
waves
Past all
manner of
Dark shoreline
caves
The salt in
the spray
The swing and
the sway
The dizzying
stars up there, so high
That help guide
my way
It’s a long,
long way to go
To this archipelago
The seas and
storms, they wail so fierce
God help me,
I love it so
First a week,
then a year
Soon I’ll be
drawing near
As provisions
grow leaner
It gets
harder to steer
At last, at
last
I climb the
mast
To catch a
glimpse
I scurry fast
I weigh the anchor
and
Make my way
toward land
To be reborn
from the cold deep
Onto the sun-warmed
sand
The waves,
they come and go
The tides,
they ebb and flow
The more I
see, the more I say
What more is
there to know?
smiles...its a never ending journey...at least not til we are dead you know....there will always be more to know...and there will always come choppy waves as well...
