Sailing Ocean poem

The creaking of the boat on the endless sea.

The sails whip, ropes dangling free

Up a wave in a soft rise

Down again, traveling to see what lies

Over the horizon, where the winds run.

Over the horizon, where appears the sun.

The waves come, endless, searching for shore;

Why they search, no one knows, nor what for.

The sky is clear, the winds are high

One could just stretch up and touch the sky.

At times like this, nature inspires me,

And I realize just how close I am to eternity.

The only thing better than these sailing things

Would be if I could fly on my own wings.
