Out To Sea

New York City
sparkles in the sunshine
four minute ferry ride
too fast too fast
wish I owned a sailboat to to under bridges up to West Point
Linger in the bay
a long slow aimless journey
along the mighty Hudson round the bend then
to see the city
from Henry Hudson vision
out to sea

Dear Veronica, you created a lovely image of the sailboat as well as your ferry ride. Boat rides never seem long enough to me. Just this week tons of cars were piled up waiting for a sailboat to cross beneath an opened bridge. I've been on the ferry from Staten Island to New York City. It's always a joy being at sea and I'm preparing to leave for a fishing trip. Enjoyed your poem very much! Love, Carolyn
