Elect in Heavenly Daylight
After the elect Sailed through the milky river Christ, the golden lamb Shined through them in daylight blue Like Omicron Velorum Inspired by the Manichaean hymn "Hymn of the Bodies in Paradise"...

Premium Member A Farewell
And late at hour, by rippling roar Of waters lapping 'neath the tor, A figure bathed in lunar light Who smiled and turned upon my sight. And beating wings above the wight, The somber creatures of the night. And as the stars about him played, A sad embrace he gently made. "If I were 'cross the seas again, in climates fair or...

A Song of John Denver
Take me home, where the country roads wind, Through rugged mountains and skies so kind. Whispering winds hum Annie’s Song true, Soft as the dawn in the morning dew. Sunshine on My Shoulders warms the soul, A golden touch that makes us whole. With Calypso we sailed through waters wide, Drifting where nature and dreams collide. A Rocky Mountain High in every refrain, A...

Seaweed, My Favourite Acquired Taste
Seaweed, another nutritious meal, With an acquired taste in a meal, I desire for my breakfast, What is the purpose, Is it the cellulose, That is so delicate to be pulled by the force, Enhanced by the source, Here, I found the origin, I wish it would taste addictive like margarine, Or tangerine, In the summer, I blenched it with salt and water, It could not...

We journeyed then as whim behooved, Our lives were eddies, wind and play; Great hearts were we, so far removed Whence any mortal thought might stray. And sunlight streamed upon our souls, And starlight to the distance played; As softly lapping water lulls, I would it were and never fade. For we on honeydew had fed, And with the winter winds were wed, And so,...

Life A Sailing Adventure
Life is like sailing On the sea in the night With a lighthouse to find its way If no light you see cause too dark Take a look at the sky above as your guide Prayer as your compass as faith direction Courage forward to focus the goal Arriving on time to the land of hope and life....

Premium Member A SMOOTH SAILING CONNECTION
In the beginning, you placed an ad I responded, which wasn't bad The first few minutes we made a connection Which displayed, honesty, kindness and affection You're the type of lady I want to know Things we have in common, I can show You're so calm, at ease and understanding These qualities don't equal demanding Just a few thoughts I acquired Talking to you,...

Sailing
There are days when the water exhales softly, its glass surface holding the light like a promise, and my boat - once battered and splintered - glides steady, sails catching the wind at just the moment I need them to. The storms don’t forget me. They linger at the edges of the horizon, a dark smudge where sky and sea bleed into each other. I’ve stopped...

Sailing Towards Romblon
Eagerly we wait,- As early as the sun mount,- At the harbor’s plank. After a short while… We heard the Ferry’s hail And shouted us, to come up!- With our kits and bags! While on the ship… I look down and wave. Then some men unknot the rope; Ready now to cruise. I and my buddies- Walk around and watch the sea, Here at the yacht’s ridge. You know...

SAILING SENEGAL
If Senegal were a sailing boat With masts new and strong Ready to part the seas of Casamance Gliding through waves in a trance. It would set its course eastwards Through the deep waters of Sandougou Riding on a history so vibrant Full of potent dreams and a future so bold. If Senegal were a sailing boat With the heart of a brave pirate It...
