How thoughts Sail

By Maxxine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I think as one sails many different ships. I 'O Captain, my Captain.' I salute the breaking dawns. I catch my balance and dance like I have never danced before, Thanks to the waves and the ale moving my body. I cry at sunset, I sleep with one eye open. I beware of pirates and never shed a tear. I 'O Captain, my Captain.' I've sailed many different ships, As I've sailed many thoughts down different streams, oceans, bays... pennisulas.
