Where Else Would I Be?
Author Note: When reading, picture the beauty of a setting sun at sea.
Steadfast,
surveying in appreciation the mastery of creation.
A kaleidoscope of color, blends one into another,
producing varying intensities,
fluid,
wispy,
in the aftermath of sun setting;
a vision,
a rustic portrait of my vessel rushing,
as to prolong this rare site.
Water mimics glass,
nary a ripple before me;
changes to chaotic in my wake.
I am enchanted by the feast placed before me,
fortunate among men to bear witness.
This portal between heaven and earth,
this is my place.
I am a sailor, where else would I be?
