The Sailor

She watched as her
heart set sail,
Not knowing what the
future held for him,

Her mind wishing
fair winds and a
following sea, 
Her emotions ebbing
from stability , 
But she knew it was
only right ,
For her heart really
belonged to the sea,
And the sailor
smiled cause he knew
that with her
blessing he was
finally free, 
So silently she
watched as her heart
set sail ,
And shed a few tears
as her sun slowly
fell.
