I ponder,
As leaving friends and kin
I wonder
As I float away agin,
I wander
On the breath of the wind,
And add salty tears to the sea
As the shore bound do for me.

Fill my sail full
Let me feel currents pull
Rocking over wave out of sight
Still remembering your touch last night.
I will return to you some day
But ocean’s destiny has its way,
My cargo is empty and my sail is full.

I enjoyed this very much, Professor.
It calls for a sequel...

Where does the merchant find himself
in the next few weeks...

does he hunger to return
to familiar shores?

So much exploring to do with this one.

My spirit will rise

There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

As you request a sequel comes
Of at least part one

Destiny does have her ways with us, doesn't she? Especially if we pare with someone who regards us theirs and chooses to stand in our way...it is a mighty ugly storm which then prevails...

I loved this, as it sparks many feelings and view points....tremendous write
