And, the wind was taken
from our sails...

It was always a rocky journey
between the two of us.
A storm was always brewing
and the waves overwhelmed
our shaky vessel, threatened
to capsize our tiny ship.
We were often in the eye
of a hurricane...waiting for
the high powered winds to rage,
the tempestuous seas to roar.

I hoped for calm seas,
for the touch of serenity,
but it never came my way.
I tried to sail out of the storm
but my sails were flattened
without the gusting winds
to fill them to billowy fullness.

And, when the wind was taken
from our sails, it left us
sitting in a world of going
nowhere. Time was very unkind.
So, I jumped ship, set sail
by myself and caught the last
of my heart, the tale of the wind.
