THOUGHT BOATS ( for Jeanne my teacher April 2016)



Thought boats float on the open sea.
Think i’ll swim out just to see,
Climb aboard the nearest one
Or let them drift like the sinking sun.

Awake from silent, dreamless sleep
I gaze across the depthless deep.
The moon enthrals the rising tide.
The silver sails in cloudless skies.

Like clouds they gather one by one
Or fish in schools on coral shoals...
The schooner ships of pocket holes,
The freighters free for the freedom run.

The off shore breeze will carry me...
The air electric blue serene. 
Or shall i sit in my clifftop cave
& let them pass in waves on waves?

Thought boats float on the open sea.
Think i’ll swim out just to see,
Climb aboard the nearest one
Or let them drift like the sinking sun.
