The snap of canvas sets taught ropes groaning. And She skims the waves, wooden planks moaning. A spray of salt brine wets my lips and tongue. Nature's elixir; the sea keeps me young. Foamy, frothy peaks are crested and kissed. And indigo waves morph into a mist. Chasing brisk breezes, She leans to one side. And I'm elated, near bursting with pride. But exaltation dies with the next swell. For emptied of wind, Her sails drooped; and fell.
