Chesapeake Bay

Blazing trails of fire
                                    Ignites these purest of desires
                                                Land Air and Sea
                                     Nestled amidst the foliage's trees
                                        Alone I drift in this merciful raft
                         Sun's candles beating on my shoulders and back
                                       For a moment I stand still in time
                                Capturing this essence of such sweet devine
                                               Come sail with me so far away
                                   On the tips of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay
