Sail away

And in the darkness
	as I await the dawn
to take up my duffel
	and beyond my way

possessions few
	my load light
burdens cast aside
	things I no longer need

on swells slow
	beneath seagulls glide
breeze through the riggings
	in freshening air

I know not where
	the course shall go
what distant shores
	for me await

nor does it matter
	to begin the new
where I may be
	in the new day

the future calls me
	I know not where
but I must travel
	and go away
