Drunk with Sailing


Laughing gull breezes sifting your soul
and twirling fingertips into lines no artist can catch. 
Wave back at the ocean as its belly deep laughter 
cajoles your boat to lucid harmonies of sky and surf. 
Parachute your arms and mingle with the heavens
until you pour out a drizzled sun shower. 

Adrenaline pumped glances scour for puddles 
to slip on, to bite the lure of the salty seduction. 
To fly through the water's luscious smile
and chase fish through invisible mazes. 
Construct a coral wreath and soar shimmering 
through the kingdom of clams. 

Yet the moment sobers and somber tears follow
and cut sharp oceans through your cheeks.
One day Heaven will rend the elements to Majesty
and all will sing and glory in dance.
Yet for now, you'll satisfy for a gentle sway, a sunset
and a zephyr whispering through your hair.
