Donna Jones Poet Free verse

Inhaling the Sea

The sails are taut..
The lines give not..
  Waves are lapping and splashing

The wind sings too..
Dolphins play for you..
  Chirping seagulls laughing

Arms outstretched against the rails..
Moonbeams reflect colorful sails
  The salty mist inhaling

She holds me, cradles me, rocks me to sleep..
Away from my troubles, to waters so deep..
  Of anger she is forgiving
