FREE TO SAIL

 

Free to sail

When the storm of youth

Brewed inside me,

When the whirlwind of emotion

Entrapped us in folly-

I beheld in excitement;

Your intoxicating allure.

I lost to the four winds

My sense and sensibility.

 

But while we were, I gathered

That a dry-season hive

Is a hollow comb of a thousand stings.

 

Like a stream after floods

I have sobered,

Brown dirt has settled,

The pebbles visible,

 once again.
