I gripped-
the edge of the sail boat
sea spray soaked me
the shore-
was far away
a huge wave took the boat high
up
to
the
sky
then into the pit of the rushing sea
frothing waves tipped the boat
on it's side over and again
violently but it did not go under
the deep blue sea
loud thundering
the boat leapt and fell wildly
I had this
sinking
sinking
feeling
then the wind took the sail-
and we headed at breakneck speed
for land
with the wind in my hair
and sea salt on my lips
the roar of the sea
and the blazing sun at my back
