Sails

Flight

By Colleen WaltersPublished 12 months ago Updated 12 months ago 1 min read

Feelings tossed on the waves

like a sailboat on an ocean

Her heart, the sails

pulling taut or letting go

in a symphony of emotions

Her mind, the helm giving

direction to her vessel

Her soul, the bright stars

joining the moon in guiding her

to the place that she is drawn to

The Spirit, the anchor

steadying her on rough seas

and then rising to make her

sails become mighty wings

to reach her destination.

To the place she has seen

where hopes have form

and dreams welcome her

with open arms.

    Wow, that painting! That ship looks incredible. Great job relating a person to a ship. There are some great parallels.
