Sitting on the rivers edge watching gulls take wing
And sailboats floating by with sails like those gossamer things.
My mind drifts to a far off place
Far from the daily rat race.
To days I spent adrift and afloat
Serene days on Godsend, my boat.
Of time spent below with my wife
The one who defines my existence and my life.
How each minute upon the sea
Is a kind of rebirth, generally.
So sitting here I can travel afar
On flights of fantasy following a star.
Til it is time to come back to earth
And return to the place I work.
It is refreshing these little flights
Helps me make it to dawns last light.
Lunch is over and it is back to reality
To what is real and not a mystery.
Tomorrow is another day
And another fantasy foray.
