Solace of the Sea
Linda H. Carney
The sturdy sloop bobs along,
Waves licking at the sides
Its sails filled with lilting breeze
Birthing joy in my sighs.

The scent of kelp and ocean air
Gulls gliding overhead
The swish of boat upon the foam
I slumber in my water bed.

Rejoicing in the shifting ocean
And the friendships that I find
The suntanned faces, generous hearts
Like currents running through my mind.

Oh glorious days spent on the water
When escape is what must be
Sea calls me with its siren song
Come launch and sail!
Be free with me!
Back to the hammock
