Ian Milligan Poet Free verse

Sail Away

Footprints in the sand…
A washed up horseshoe crab shell nearby….
An unused boat.
Perfect….
For my getaway.
I’ll sail along the waters….
And I won’t look back.
The breeze feels so invigorating,
And such a beautiful sunshine.
Leaving this life behind,
To return to my old roots,
To make things right with my friends….
To focus more on my happiness.
So I will sail away….
Into the wide open sea….
Destination… back home.
To work more on me.
I’ll sail away,
Watching the birds fly high,
In the beautiful blue sky,
Knowing….
I’ll fly among them someday.
I’ll take this boat and sail away….
Across the ocean….
And I will return to a life….
With no chaos, and no commotion.
Listen closely to the words I say….
This unused boat….
Will be my getaway….
This is my goodbye to you.
It’s time for me to sail away.
