I was, just sailing by

On, the friendly water

Blue.

As she followed my wake

Just by my side

Quiet.

And, as I asked her

‘Do you love the ocean, that is blue?

Like I do, tell me my dear…’

Pondering.

And she with those full lips

Smiling her gentle smile told me…

‘Who does not love the ocean

With its boundless waves, carefree

Who doesn’t want to explore its enigmatic depths

even shackled men do, despite slaving daily as they live’

Surprisingly

So, her voice ended in a melody

The sweetest that I had ever heard

With that soft touch of hers on my shoulder

that made me wonder endlessly

Always

 what would It be like

To continue without that

And live as I,

Alone.

I loveless.
