Sail Over the Rim by Donald Frey

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.
