Ships In the Distance
Gazing out upon
the waters
I see ships in
the distance
They are far off
Yet they are
in the range of my sight
Wonder who is piloting
these ships
and wondering
why they are passing my way
The sea is calm
today
and the bright
winter sun is
reflected in its
waters
The ships move
slowly across the horizon
They are headed
for foreign shores
I am tempted to
board one
But they are far
away
So, I watch them
from my place on
the shore
and take a marvelous
imaginary journey
The best kind of journey - don't you think?
