I Am Sail

Any which way you want me for I’m only an old fool In love’s crossfire tossed around your breath my anchor don’t set me free Yet alone I float within my dreams standing here in the rain. © Harry J Horsman 2016

Really powerful write in the Sijo form Harry I can emphasise with this I guess many get to such a point, at different times..' I am sending you a soup mail soon..'
