A tale of a different sort...H2O inspired ramblings and thoughts about windsurfing
The Wind
A fickle temptress, you feel her caress
A gift from the sky as she goes blowing by
Never knowing the regret you’ll feel
Trapped in a floating cage of steel
Windswells and whitecaps spread far and wide
Stir emotions strong inside
You close your eyes and soon you’ll see
Hooked and strapped you’re becoming free
Screaming along without a care
Across the water gleaming launching fat air
Free as a child happy and wild
Not a care to be found no longer earth bound
Floating it seems for such a long time
Liking this dream feeling quite sublime
Feeling so good you ask with a smile
Please sweet temptress won’t you stay awhile
Soaring just a little too far
The door of reality begins to creep ajar
Through it she flows leaving you now
Silently I whisper my solemn vow
Whenever I hear your sweet voice calling me
From soft summer breeze or strong winter sea
All of my tasks will I set aside
So that I might once more take you for a ride
Arrived in Norfolk but not home just yet
Sailing deprived inspirations to paper I’ve set
Six months I had to feel the breeze
I’m afraid I’ve got the Mad Sailing Disease
The symptoms you’ll see are quite apparent
Equipment I must have, buy, beg, or rent
These things I need to quench my desire
If I’m not sailing soon, I’m afraid I’ll expire
For these words I seek not literary fame
Only that others that speak her name
Might see these words and crack a smile
