Across the sea on my sail boat
the wind again finds me stranded,
uncertainty always ends the same
a silent pray.
I confess a dream of the Galilee
as my preferred destination.
The albatross asks why the pledge,
even a rationale
for breaking out of the storm.
What is your faith ?
is an answer really a cure ?
A confession can be overstated
yet it still touches the soul
all the same.

Imagination fires the soul, resolution the longing.

Hi Antony,
I like this. Makes one think, because of its mystical implications. A dream, nonetheless.
The frailty of a sail boat trying to reach the Sea of Galilee.

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


"There is no life higher than the grasstops
Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."

Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.

Hi Antony,

I like your dreamy poem - a few suggestions between the lines.


Across the sea on my sail boat
the wind [again] finds me stranded again,

Perhaps I'm being too logical here, but I think again sounds better at the end of the line


uncertainty always ends the same
a silent [pray] prayer.
I confess a dream of the Galilee
as my preferred destination.
The albatross asks why the pledge,
even a rationale
for breaking out of the storm.
What is your faith ?
is an answer really a cure ?
A confession can be overstated
yet it still touches the soul
[all the same.] Is the last line really needed

Eira

Like the inclusion of the albatross

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way.
Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal.
Write from the heart - it's therapeutic.
Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!
