abbadabba's Journal, 11 Jul 18

I wrote a poem. Totally distracted this week though. I have been a sailor most of my life, so this has a lot of sailing terms.

Going Somewhere Now

By the 4th of July, Head and Heart were just sailing
And no longer talking,
With Heart meditating on the bench seat,
With Head steering steadily
Past all the bright buoys and sparkling lights,
Bearing away from any kind of disturbance.
Until the heatwave,
Head wasn’t aiming in any direction toward anywhere:
Just steering away,
On a run, with still air in the cockpit,
No plan to turn, no thought of looking back.

And the trip was settled and quiet and even,
A smooth calm run.

Then with rising weather, Heart felt a sudden push
To where Heart needed to go,
And took over the wheel,
And headed up, sails full,
On a beam reach,
Straight into a squall.

That's lovely abbadabba. Having been on a few ferries across Lake Garda I can get the expression 😃
