The wind is long The sails ripped and old The old boat floats barely on the sea Worthy of little more Holding thousands of verse Contemplation's of no use Simply to fill up space and time Importance always lost overboard Less, you see, is often more

I find writing very cathartic. Words can be the life preserver one needs to express themselves. Great poem. :)

Your words are easy to float on but are more impactful when diving beneath the surface.
