Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Seize the Day

image by Mostafa Habibi

I waited for the perfect day
to set out on the seas
for winds that blew just hard enough
to make a gentle breeze
The sun, the clouds, they had to be
up in the Heavens so
as to create the setting for
my dream seaside tableau
My boat, she waited in the sea
for that auspicious time
and I was buried in the sand
for I could not leave home.
