Sailman

SAILMAN

Sleeps deep after long  care-filled days
Seeing ahead the  loose ends
Pulling tighter on the stays

Lets it go  when the breeze rises
Gathers all corners till it fills
Loses nothing, no awkward surprises

Unseen, watching, ready
Able to  know without knowing
Keeps the course steady
