Man and Sea

If I had not been at sea, I would have died before now.

Not to say a man is not a man of he who might plow.
To farm and grow is grand and pure a need by all;
however, to sail the ocean free, life or death, that is my call.

Alone, or with friend, I make in alacrity, plans, and dream to be,
on the ocean, in the sands, yellow sunsets, and free.

Some are fortunate enough
to follow the ways of their will...

Enjoyed.

Wonderful expression of love for the sea...
I too feel this way.
Very much enjoyed the read JL.

*Smile*  I know a friend in Galveston who sailed around the world -- this reminds me of something he told me about how it changed him.

JL...Enjoyed the poem. When the sea gets in your blood there is nothing you can do but answer her call my friend. Live your dream and be happy always...Paul
