Beyond the Breakers

Beyond The Breakers Out beyond the breakers Far from all the takers Who shattered all my dreams from coming true The posers and fakers The beaters and shakers Who paralleled the shore with the Big Blue I got through to the other side I kept sailing every tide Just in time to hoist up the moonrakers And catch the wind, while heaving to Out on the vast and azure blue... Searching my true North...beyond the breakers. 2.3.2017©deborah burch Rhyme
