Sail Away Long ago, there was a day We'd board our boat and sail away, To visit islands in the Sound And find a place we'd not be found. We'd swim and fish and soak up sun And when each happy day was done, We'd have a fire on the shore, To stretch the day a little more. But finally, we'd row on back To where our sailboat rode the slack Water, of a turning tide. There, in the cockpit, side by side, We'd watch the stars pass overhead Awhile before we went to bed. Those days are gone, but I still feel The current underneath the keel. The wind and sun in summer skies. I just have to close my eyes! Betty Lou Hebert |

very nice write. A vacation away from reality. I speak insanity. I write fantasy. I sleep reality. |

liked this nostalgic piece Betty Lou..your memories must have been flooding over you as you wrote it. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |
