To Float Upon The Sea



Photo: Diego Fernandes 2008


To float upon the sea
We must make ready
To leave dry land.

Floating on the sea
Treasure is my vessel
And air to breathe.

Floating on the sea
Storms and current stir
The voyager to alien shores.

Floating on the sea
Cast overboard your coin
Acumen crafts purchase.

Floating on the sea
Answers have doubt
Packed in the hold

Floating on the sea
Needs launch and harbor
A mystery to solve.

To float upon the sea
I do not need a name
But a course wants plotting.

Diego.
Your poems of the Voyage - lovely and deep.
One of the prettiest, most eloquent combinations of three words I may ever have read:
"Acumen crafts purchase."

Thank you.
