Sail Mates

  We're drifting in the shallows,   For the wind has died away.   The air is warm and heavy,   As we ghost along the bay.   The sail hangs slack above us   And a languor fills our bones,   While listening to the lapping   Of the water's liquid tones.   There's a gust, the wind is back,   We must tend our boat once more,   Falling on a starboard tack   And our spirits start to soar.   There's only wind and water   And a great expanse of sky,   The tiller and the rudder,   Our boat, my love and I!
