Sail Away Poem by David Whalen

Sail away

Cast off those hawsers
That tie the spirit to the quay
Lift the anchor of your soul…
Catch the wind in billowed sail
Set the course
Then sail away…

Permit the wind to be your master
Let chance rule the day
Take no heed of others needs
Embrace Nature…
Sail Away…

Free the binds that fetter feelings
Give free reign to oceans of emotion
Feel the deck beneath you reeling
Let the sea spray be your lotion

Free the tiller…to the whims of Nature
Loose the bonds of rote and routine
Feel the joy of rampant rapture
Loose the binds of mankind mean

Turn the tides of trials and turmoil
Sail at angles to the rip tide
Leave viruses, politics on the soil
Set the course for Oceans wide
And sail…sail away
