Let's Set Out To Sea

Let's set out to sea
     leaving the harbor with reluctance
     but searching for the freedom in the wind.
Set the sails just so
     we are drawn in the directed tidal flow
     bounding out to sea.
Follow the horizon there
    off in the distance
    as the sun rise gives us light and warmth.
All in life has brought us to this
    warm breezes, salted air, harbors that await
    the arrival of our journey's start.
Let's set out to sea
   free of the land that bound us
   to tasks unplanned and once tied us down.
Let the wind take us out
   along the very edge of the world
   to live and breathe, forever free, set upon the wind.
Latch tight, harnessed
   to the very winds of change
   and the time awaiting,
   all that is yet to be.
Let's set out to sea.
