BUOYANCY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A boat drifts softly, hull like a feathered whisper, tracing sky and sea. In its wake, a gentle sigh—clarity in the vast blue. Buoyant, I drift free, the weight of time slips away. Crystal waters gleam. My thoughts thoughts dart like fish in the deep. The boat softly sways. Joy, a vessel on this sea, carries me onward. I sail...

Premium Member The Life of an Adventurer
A thousand ships through the dark nights sail, to mysterious lands and adventurous trails. With a thirst for life, I cannot rest, when one is finished, there comes another quest. I travel many paths into the unknown, with each path completed, I know I’ve grown. Though dangers lurk at most every turn, I sense I’m protected; I have no concern. I try new...

I love the blue water, as I am rocked to sleep. The salt air fills my soul, as I dream far away. I am awakening, to a misty sea day. ...

Premium Member Sailing on the Bay, a Living Poem
On the bay the wind is scurrying along its flock of waves, with white crests honey combed, to flip over their edges, on blue foreheads. The bow of the yacht slices through the waves driven by the wind in the sails, rattling the rigging, heeling the boat over, relenting to force of wind, tricking the wind to drive the yacht forward wind into...

The clouds looked like a sailboat in the sky Sailing across blue color, like the vast sea There was no sand, shells or seagull to fly Just a sailboat above green valleys and trees This feeling of sailing can be found anywhere Sky to water, you can catch a view any day Nourishing visions to see with self care. Some day you...

Elect in Heavenly Daylight
After the elect Sailed through the milky river Christ, the golden lamb Shined through them in daylight blue Like Omicron Velorum Inspired by the Manichaean hymn "Hymn of the Bodies in Paradise"...

Premium Member A Farewell
And late at hour, by rippling roar Of waters lapping 'neath the tor, A figure bathed in lunar light Who smiled and turned upon my sight. And beating wings above the wight, The somber creatures of the night. And as the stars about him played, A sad embrace he gently made. "If I were 'cross the seas again, in climates fair or...

A Song of John Denver
Take me home, where the country roads wind, Through rugged mountains and skies so kind. Whispering winds hum Annie’s Song true, Soft as the dawn in the morning dew. Sunshine on My Shoulders warms the soul, A golden touch that makes us whole. With Calypso we sailed through waters wide, Drifting where nature and dreams collide. A Rocky Mountain High in every refrain, A...

Seaweed, My Favourite Acquired Taste
Seaweed, another nutritious meal, With an acquired taste in a meal, I desire for my breakfast, What is the purpose, Is it the cellulose, That is so delicate to be pulled by the force, Enhanced by the source, Here, I found the origin, I wish it would taste addictive like margarine, Or tangerine, In the summer, I blenched it with salt and water, It could not...

We journeyed then as whim behooved, Our lives were eddies, wind and play; Great hearts were we, so far removed Whence any mortal thought might stray. And sunlight streamed upon our souls, And starlight to the distance played; As softly lapping water lulls, I would it were and never fade. For we on honeydew had fed, And with the winter winds were wed, And so,...

Life A Sailing Adventure
Life is like sailing On the sea in the night With a lighthouse to find its way If no light you see cause too dark Take a look at the sky above as your guide Prayer as your compass as faith direction Courage forward to focus the goal Arriving on time to the land of hope and life....
