Sailboats At Regatta - By Hendrith Smith
Sailboats at Regatta
bob and weave
play and sway
like feathers on the currents of the air
on a springtime morning.
Hand carved champions of the sea
engineered to outsail some other
brothers, friends and fathers all aboard
more than ready.
Hoing through the motions
open ocean bound
toward a blue horizon
and fearless - full of faith, only
in what wind may take them far, fast
as cheerful souls on shore
say goodbye.
- a poem by Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr
