smoothly sailing through time

Smoothly sailing through life-in the boat of life.
Facing its challenges as the sails rotate back and forth.

As the sails billow and flutter back and forth in the wind.
Clanging against the masts
echoing back and forth a reply to be heard.
Moving the boat back and forth-
onward and upward over the cresting waves.

Surf and spum spread over the transom of the boat-
to become a sticky and chalky substance to the touch.

Gliding through the waters
slowly and gently
passing by floating driftwood, silent lobster pots and clanging bell-buoys.
replying back to the rustle of the wind over the waves and being in harmony with nature herself.
