To my side I hear a sound
of waves upon a hull.

I call.
The fog is thick.
I hear a responding feminine.
Parallel course
through the mists of color.

I wonder
if on this journey
you could see
your being near me?

Just out of sight
but there.

Like you,
I know not where I will, or am,
only
that I must go on.

Would you mind?
I'd like to hear what you see
with all your eyes.

Those woman's words
in a woman's voice
would mean so much.
Often, I fear the scars, of even my own victories.
And I will share
the braveries
I've learned, when your own injuries
dread the dark.

The wind is up.
I stay the wheel.
Through the evening, again I call.
  
Are you there?
I am here.

Sailing,
sailing.
Perhaps we are going

together home.

"Would you mind?
I like to hear what you see
with all your eyes."

This is why I wake up each day, I loved those lines.
