Hugging the Coast

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I think of all the times
We sail into the depths of our hearts
And laugh at the obstacles ahead

At the fears and doubts
Waiting before us

Embracing the fury of motion
Waiting for no one to catch up

When I reflect upon the moments
We push off shore
Building intensity
Off the wind of our own sails

And steer into the waves
Dreaming of a new world

And feel the mist of life
Sparkle upon our flesh

And touch the sun upon our smiles

I am reminded
Of the hope within our convictions

And I remember to navigate diligently

Never wandering too far off
The coast within our eyes

Better than hugging the porcelin rim! Seriously, it's wonderful how the images you create here mirror the wayward spirit that ventures out but not beyond its bearings.

Yes, what is here and now is all. Savor it. Don't lose it chasing after the horizon. The universe is inside you-a million stars. Worlds will come to you...

O, my--you have left me breathless with the beauty and emotion in each word. I love the sea, and almost missed this one--I'm glad I didn't!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO, Sir!

Masterfully expressed, Sir Ace. You dance with words so effortlessly! Bravo!...
Sometimes reckless release of that rudder helps one to season, as well as age!--getting lost is being found???
Another memorable write.

the harsh reality is that closer to shore
is closer to danger

Let us sail beyond this coast,
Let's inhale the breeze,
May we live life to the most
And sail the unknown seas.

We'll never find another shore
while we cling to the one we're on.

Peace,
Joseph

No matter how much we may consider ourselves to be "High Flyers" or "Dreamers" we all have a piece of ourselves that is at it's best on terra firma. We all seek grounding in one form or another. To find our center and to be grounded in a partner is truly a blessing. A beautiful and soulful write, Robert. NICE!
Take care,
Sherry

Ah, the call of the unbounded seascape and the beckoning of territories yet to be found, explored and conquered! A glistening, crescendo write that takes us over and through the peaks and troughs whilst at the same time providing an anchor of purpose that is directed by vision. A Columbian write that luffs the sails nicely with thoughts of new horizons whilst at the same time taking us deeper into self-awareness, personal mapping and discovery. An embarkation that makes all things possible: Energising, thank you. Kate xx

that image of two ships, no longer passing in the night but sailing right beside one another, is one big enough to hold the fearless exploration of two courageous captains and also the shore we find within each other. felt the gentle waves of this one and the steady current of the dream...
