Unhindered Dreams

Today I looked upon the great blue sea and longed to be the captain of a ship with unhindered dreams. My sites set on wonder while my thoughts of shore I would doubtfully ponder. The smell of the salt and sea, where it may lead me, I would leave to mystery. Days of sun warming my soul and nights filled with darkness lit by starlight drifting ever so slow. The song of the albatross would calm my mind as the thoughts of the world I would leave far behind. Warm conch shell dinners and rum, my belly would be filled and in late October, their warmth would heal the damp chill. A distant light house would be my guide to stay at sea and from the shoreline, hide. My heart for a moment did skip a beat as I thought about the treasures that lay not just at the bottom so deep, but of the soul that I would forever in memory, get to keep.
