art Sailing away.
Music: The Old Rambler

Man Tide


In the moment between afternoon and evening
when the sun changes the sky's normal shade of blue, to any other hue,
The mind turns to thoughts of one's home and perhaps cozy fires
Not long thereafter the mind shifts again to thoughts of one's desires
These are too numerous to list but among them are those of improving one's lot
Although this subject alone takes many forms it usually includes improving what one's got
A further reduction brings us to removing ourselves from sight and fleeing into the night
The ocean seems a place to float away on a casual day
To those that do not know, this seems a peaceful way to go
To many the ocean seems to effect a boring state
To those I say they deserve their fate
To those that know there is respectful fear from danger far and near
and they keep a watchful eye on land sea and sky
To those that sail it is with quickened pace
to discover that most desirable place
and put down anchor in a sacred place
