Out Sailing on an Autumn Evening

Copyright 2020 by Kenneth Van Camp, all rights reserved.


 Upon one shore the sun escapes me

While on the other the moon overtakes me.

The wind, in such a hurry this afternoon

Has slowed to an amble in the autumn gloom.

 

So we carry on, my sailboat and me

No real destination, just wandering free.

A little bow chuckle, a little stern wake

Propels me on to the shore of the lake.

 

Today I choose downwind, let the sails run free

Stern to the tailwind, unapologetically.

No need to follow the moon or the sun

The course is my own, the race lost is won.
