I Am Alone

I am alone, venturing seven high seas
By Fjord and by Strait with the slightest of breeze
Searching horizons, to no such avail
Bountiful winds filling forever my sail
And dolphins weave waves in liquefied ease.

Beyond Venus and Mars the night stars appease
With rope and mast rolling in constant trapeze
As I watch stars fall in dusted gold trail
I am alone.

Then by reefs picturesque, by blue tinsel keys
My yacht kissed the coral, to sand she agrees
And here I lie shipwrecked, ‘neath palm and pine veil
I am one with my dream, I cry and I wail
I am alone.

Hi Linda! Thanks so much! I posted this following your competition invitation last week. I wrote this a while ago when sailing some rough seas of my own. Funny isn't it, how sometimes the worst moments often inspire us to write at our best. This was the only poem I wrote during a 3 year 'drought'. I'm really glad you appreciate it. Your reply means a lot! Bises!
