Welcome To The Serenity Sail

Outside in the barn one late summer eve  
a seaman toiled until wee hours of night 
Solid rock surrounded by wood and nail 
just the right size for "The Serenity Sail" 
She lit an old candle by the window, 
recalling sweetly their brave adventures   
Back in the days when they were young 
water was life and love was pure gold; 

Over by the lawn an old weathered sailboat 
sat waiting, for one more vigorous glide   
"Lets take her out " he said as he toiled,       
curving the wood and tapering to a point. 
That night they slept in the boat like kids,     
huddled under a blanket stitched with stars.  
Tasting the ocean on her lips he sighed,  
"Join me !" he said as she giggled, awhile.
