Navigation

Just one more day until the front door slams
The car is packed
The road is open
We are off. 
Off to take in the slower pace. 
The stillness of the navigation. 
Walking pace through life. 
To take time to watch a minnow dart
See a kingfisher flit
Hear an echoey tunnel. 
Rise with the sun, rest with the sun. 
Use natures clock as our own. 
As centuries before man woman and child
Lived and loved aboard,
All life is here, 
in these wooden walls
This floating kingdom, 
all I hold dear. 
Just one more day. 
Just one more day.
