"SAILING" - with the wind to another world

Gentle nudges on uncertain bow
reluctance rules for still second
boat budges sails luff lazily
telltales desultory

Now in the open sea
waves bombard
starboard bow with stories
of arduous journeys from distant dangers
winds regale
surging sails with songs
of sleepy isles and busy harbours

Their rhymes and rhythms
bear the boat
on angels’ wings
flying on the breath of God
