Dead calm...

Poem Artwork

Not a waft of wind,

Not a current in the sea,

Not a way to move,

Just drifting you & me…

 

Sail unfurled in case,

Some wisp of wind,

Gives us a bit of pace,

Feeling without movement,

Both of us quite chagrined…

 

An island off the port bow,

Far away is it for right now,

We both sit on the forward prow,

Praying for a breeze so through the swells we may plow…

Land Ho!

Hey, who you callin' Ho Mister?
If I had a paddle I'd use it on you!
Oh, you'd like that wouldn't you
You....drifter
Hey how's about you and me
Just relax a bit and enjoy the calm

There's nothing worse than a dead calm, whether on the sea, or in life. I can feel your concern and your well-chosen words.
