Behind me
The wake of my journey
All froth and churn
As I labour
To leave
To forget
Ahead of me
The wake of the moon
All sparkly possibility
As I awaken
To hope
To purpose

Sailing ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #286
I follow
The land’s flow
Over swell
And hollow
This sea of soil
Calls out to
Hard men
Sailors of
The grasslands
Content to be at sea
Layers ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #283
Gentle seas
Jagged peaks
Sky in turmoil
So go
The many layers
Of I
Weekends
Sail the slate sea
On friendly breeze
Which powers me
On friendly breeze
Which powers me
Hold the tiller fast
As grey gulls surf
The unseen wave
Leeward of the mast
And I at peace
In my dead reckoning
Far between the harbours
Of duty and burden
Riding the tide of release
The Calling
The beacon calls for them
Those who seek the shore
Those who yearn for the sea
Those who seek the shore
Those who yearn for the sea
Molten Star
Molten star upon horizon
Lava flows across the sea
Saviour’s beacon
Rendered feeble
Until the night
Calls out to me
Lava flows across the sea
Saviour’s beacon
Rendered feeble
Until the night
Calls out to me
The Susurrus of Grey
On a day I wondered
If the rain might never end
If the rain might never end
The clouds did not break
The sun did not shine
So I sat with the rain
Found the beauty in the greys
With the susurrus of droplets
Falling on the gentle sea
In the peace I found there
The spark of a mirthful hope
Perhaps it would be better
If the rain did never end
The Reaching Sea
The questing sea
Reaches for me
Then for the sky
Reaches for me
Then for the sky
Not at all content
With her lowly lot
Seeks to climb the shore
Or sunders self
Evaporates
Obtains a cloudy high
Though just a mist (as liquid falls to Earth)
Flows back as river to the sea
This Fair Land
This land
Which called to me
Then said, “Stay!”
Which called to me
Then said, “Stay!”
To which I return
No matter how far
Astray
I wander
I seek
But carry always
This fair land
Which speaks my heart
Which I am, in all my being
