Poem Title:
Poem
Teeter tottered between dock and boat Boarded with a box of supplies Security and radio check completed Sounds of people chattering, horns beeping, and seagulls squawking Sailboat untied Drifted away from mooring Engine engaged Stern exchanged for bow and headed for horizon Navigated through channel markers and out into open water Engine killed and sail hoisted up mast Sound of water lapping against boat Sailboat bobbed and turned like a piece of driftwood on the ocean Light reflected off of metallic objects on boat and turquoise water Fully furled sails captured the wind Boat lurched forward and sideways White knuckle grip on silver plated wheel Capsize averted by keel Headed to skyline under captains command White capping waves and powder-puff clouds seen to the limits of vision Visibility clear for miles in every direction Sounds of wind whipping sail and water rushing against boat Loss of time Distracted by enchantment Coast line disappeared Gripped with panic Fear of the unknown Swaying between civilization and solitude Control regained with self-rationalization Warmth of sun felt on face Mesmerized by the sun painting on a canvas of light blue and aqua Dropped sail and anchor on leeward side of a small island Snow white sand and coconut trees swaying in the breeze Dined with silence and serenity Dolphins played at dusk Moon rise with waves breaking reflection Diamonds of heaven sparkling and some falling into the ocean Gently rocked to sleep by calm dark water
