Stitching A Voyage



Romance renaissance scuffling strong
fable stories goodness, however wrong
hand crafted handy land built
hand held control rope sail tilt
sunrise, happy eye's, cloth fly's
jaw dropping windy gesture good-byes
against the current frictions
carpenters original construction restrictions
rudder waving man power ahead
forward momentum preparation, the wind is dead
mentally designed ingeniously refined
ropes controlling movement all intertwined
Mediterranean sea leaving behind
bridging the Atlantic the Caribbean to find
thirty one degrees across the seas
the tropic of cancer compass disease
planet rotation ease wind blowing sneeze
clouds on the horizon adventure in the heart
staples, on the menu courses to chart
how lucky they are in taking part
