Totally. I read through my poems but don't edit much, or I'll publish them and then notice something. One of the best things about poetry is there's not right way to do it <3
I was about to say that this poem fully embodies the phrase, "Take time to smell the roses," but I realized you spoke those words already: "Smell the flowers that bloom in the spring." This was the reminder I needed today to slow my brain down for a minute and observe and appreciate the world around me!
The ship, and being afloat at sea, is such a fitting metaphor for growing up. So much of what you touched on -- the loneliness of sailing alone, the feeling that the wind can pull you in any direction, the sands of a homeland that is your past -- was spoken of with such affecting language, and really resonated with me.
I absolutely adore the grainy look of it

Thanks. That means a lot to me.
I love the gradation of color in this, blue sky to pink horizon! What is this body of water?
I can't tell if this is a distorted photograph or a painting, and that's genuinely so cool!
