A sailboat dead in the water

the yard was broken

storm clouds rapidly approaching

was this an omen

A stoic sailor is at the helm

quickly grabbing the sail

sanguine about the repair

praying it will go well

Rain begins to fall

there is thunder and lightening

the boat rocks back and forth

the passenger is frightened

The sailor works quickly

makes the repair

quickly heading toward the coast

taking great care

The storm calms

the sailor and passenger are safe

thankful for safe harbor

and God’s grace

In a secluded place

I have found my retreat

on this pier

water on my feet

In the brevity of the day

contemplating my thoughts

away from the world

what lessons are taught

Dangling my pole

out of the water jumps a fish

making a perfect circle

I make a wish

A theme for life

how much fun it would be

if there was a plan

specifically for me

Surrounded by the mountains

each day carries new life

a unique adventure

sometimes filled with strife

Things planned out

that would be so easy

nothing would go wrong

never a thought of being crazy

But for me

that would not be fun

must feel the soil

freedom to run

Excitement each day

a new adventure to happen

joy in my heart

each day a new passion

Picking up my pole

turning to leave

fish continue to jump in the water

I can finally breathe
