Sailing

If your sailing

And you feel like your failing,

You might want to think about bailing.

 

For sailing 

With uncertainty 

Is most certainly, 

Or at least, personally,

an emergency.

 

I once knew of a sailor

Who never looked paler

Then when he was a tailor.

It was a total failure. 

 

For this, sailor,

Is your warning, 

You don’t have to go sailing 

In the morning.

    Shatterable, how utterly shatterable this world is. Once I was here, embraced in delicate arms that were so strong. I was embracing a blond headed, simple pathed, loving girl.

  • Diamond Reeds

    We shift through the reeds, chests touching, foreheads resting on each other. Our hands become moist from being held together for so long. The breeze makes the large plane full of reeds click, nearly sounding like diamonds.
