Inhaling the Sea

The sails are taut.. The lines give not.. Waves are lapping and splashing The wind sings too.. Dolphins play for you.. Chirping seagulls laughing Arms outstretched against the rails.. Moonbeams reflect colorful sails The salty mist inhaling She holds me, cradles me, rocks me to sleep.. Away from my troubles, to waters so deep.. Of anger she is forgiving ©Donna Jones 12-28-2013

Beautifully written. It creates an image and a mood in flowing words. Enjoyed...especially since my ancestors were seafaring men. Big Smiles, Dane

The healing waves of ocean breeze cast it's sails with gentle ease. The faintest scent of calming seas. Can bring a sailor to their knees. Peace. :)

I spent many a treasured hour at the tiller of small sailboats. What treasured memories, and you brought them all to life again, as I read. Happy New Year.
