Description
in the darkest hours of the night
as i stared at nothing
without sight
it dawned on my tired mind
and my heart cried to me
that i'm like a ship
without the sea
too many times
I stood aside
and let slip away the tide
too many times
I remained upon the shore
too many times - but no more!
I must sail away from my fear
I must catch the winds
the winds of love in my sails
and dare to dance the tides
I must fly

A perfect image for your thoughts. But just remember, gulls also travel in groups. You don't have to sail alone.

What a very sensitive poem, Carin. I feel with you. What a great picture of freedom, by that flying bird ( an Eagle (?))
A wonderful and peaceful image.
