Tall Ship Firing Away

“We clear the harbor and the wind catches her sails

and my beautiful ship leans over ever so gracefully,

and her elegant bow cuts cleanly

into the increasing chop of the waves.

I take a deep breath and my chest expands

and my heart starts thumping so strongly

I fear the others might see it beat through the cloth of my jacket.

I face the wind and my lips peel back from my teeth

in a grin of pure joy.”
