Voyage Into the Blue

VOYAGE   INTO   THE   BLUE


When our boat puts out to sea
Let the wind take the sails full
And the tide be favorable as we
Are followed by  the whale and gull.

May the prow respond to my wheel
And the deck  constantly turn
To the loving moving caress and feel
Of  the waves behind our stern.

You will navigate, I shall helm :
Our course will be unharried
On our trackless journey in this realm  -
When you and  I are married.

Entered in Francine Roberts'  Contest  "Blue on blue on blue"

(  chosen topic is    OCEAN  )
