Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

Away I Sail

Away I sail, by the light of dawning day
                    Through tides and swells where the dolphins play
                               To distant shores, I venture
                                   With awestruck wonder
                                             In silence 
                                                SAIL 
                                          This moment    
                                         I see the glory
                               Wild seagulls, high and soaring
                            Come sail away, o're the lofty seas
                   In search of safe harbors, where souls are set free.

This was a beautiful daydream in my morning. If it weren't for the scent of my coffee, I could have sworn I was still dreaming.

Thank you so much, Arlene! It was an interesting format since I was trying to write it for the rules of Andrea's Help Me Name It poetry contest. We do own a sailboat, so I'm grateful I get to go sailing often :)
