Winds Return

A fog bank on the Horizon, 
        As a barrier to our way. 
       And oh the sea, so tranquil, 
          No breeze to ruffle it's face. 
        Our ship drifting aimlessly, 
           Her sails hang motionless. 
         Like peace fullness, the stillness brings, 
            It teaches Hearts to rest. 
         Some sailing on this ship of life,        
            See Doldrums as an end
          Take courage fellow seafarers,
             The winds will come again.

Beautiful! I felt a sort of "breezy calm" in this verse.
