Fair Winds and Following Seas

Post by beekay » June 12th, 2017, 11:39 am

Fair Winds and Following Seas


As the wind increases
Our ships’ sails begin to fill
And we make ready to leave
This beautiful, enchanted harbor.

Our wakes diverge as our courses alter
Toward our various destinations
Hopeful islands in this stormy sea.

Hopefully, we’ll meet again
Under Orion’s light
Or the Southern Cross
Or under the one fixed star of truth.

(This was my last post on Arcanum Café before it died. It seemed right to start here with it, say RIP, and move on...)

Our wakes diverge and then converge again, never can tell exactly when or how. The seas run forever, yet circle the same planet rock..
