Sail Over the Rim
by Donald Frey
Cast off Embark
Throw smart phones
to sharks along
with keys Visa bills
Quit your job
Leave your junk
Breathe fresh air
Discover passion
Take a lover
Board a ship
The winds wait
Set your sails
Go now
without compass and chart
Leave shrinking shores
Head for deep waters
Rumbling heavens
White caps
Flashing horizons
Check you trim
Tack to
Starboard.
Push your mast into stars
Sail over the rim

My wife and I live on country acreage with a mountain view. I’m a retired lawyer.who formally skied and climbed mountains. Now I tend a large flower garden and
enjoy poetry as my new passion.
