May the wind carry you, Safe passage over troubled waters Dark and bottomless too, Stray from drowned and sunken martyrs In all that you do Set your sails to catch the breeze, A vessel that will be propelled A splash of spray to tease, Breaking the waves where oft compelled Sail now, upon my sea Let my body carry you, Underneath forever in the stars Bright and eternal too, Smooth the violence of troubled waters If it’s the last thing we do So come and begin the journey, Promise not to sink in the swells Of varying depths of me, Where once I rose, and then fell Come and sail upon my sea |

Sir, the last stanza of this left me breathless..."Promise not to sink in the swells Of varying depths of me..." You have such a way with nautical words...exquisitely done. I envy this maiden who with you sails!  More, more! |

Thanks, PFF, as always...the maiden in question will enjoy your words... I'm just glad this site is up and running right again *L* Crossing my fingers though... You snuck in on me while i was replying JM. I am speechless with your reply. THAT takes my breath away... [This message has been edited by JML (edited 03-20-2000).] |

no longer sailing stormy waters... I float contently on a sea of blue. with mystic winds blowing thru my hair... and as always...there are my thoughts of you. I owed you...(smile) stalking you in contentedness, your jm and you can say baby... baby can I hold you tonight maybe if told you the right words... at the right time, you'd be mine... baby can I hold you tonight... tracy chapman |

JML, It seems that you have found the wind that fills your sails. . . It shows in these words, I can see it very plainly. . . Wonderful words my friend. . . this is indeed one of your best!! ----------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
