Thoughtful passage


THE SAILING SHIP



A Sailing Ship is leaving

Going I know not where

I imagine far off places

To visit and to share.



I observe a restful picture

As it heads right out to sea

Leaving its trail in the water

As if to say “I’m free”.



I so wish I was on board

With the wind upon my face

Listening to the ripples

And moving at the ships own pace.



Watching scudding clouds above me

See Seagulls swooping by

The peace and the tranquillity

Gives such pleasure to my eye.



Perhaps one day I too will sail

To visit lands anew

But in the meantime I’m content

To sit on the shore and just view.
