Women Of The Sea

Women of The Sea

The wind rages from the West
across the main land filling sails
sending the day from point to point
tack,
mainsail luff,
“…come about…”
a thought
that never makes its way
from brain wave
to verbal vibration -
all hands on deck
a solo act
when solitude is the destination
of least resistance
peace rises between layers
of wind and cloud
9 knots with 8 foot swells
adrenalin hits a high note
as if Sachamo were crew
blowing old favorites
from a time when life was a mystery
or what we thought it could be –
temptation drifts off
into the slow burn of a sunset
memories find a harmonious harbor
to rest during the inevitable storm
slow sway
sentimental echo
making lovers dance
babies dream

while women of the sea
gaze beyond the horizon…

Spring 2009 cont...

Dance With Me

Dreamy eyes that look past a potential story line
Cast of characters fall to the left on bended knee
Heart in hand, you whisper in a sultry voice

“Dance with me…”

Walk Alone

Walking toward the morning sunrise

Red sky at night a sailors delight
Red sky in morning sailors take warning

Secluded shore covered in a blanket of
sand and stone,
seashells and colored sea glass
footsteps quietly washed away
No remnants left behind
An emotional tide of high’s and low’s
A continuous loop

Summer, winter, spring and fall…
