Sailboat on my Driveway

Sailboat on my Driveway

Through seas and tides of change,

My vessel serves to protect me.

She gladly accompanies me westward,

On the high seas of tarmacadam.

A sail of golden vapours lead,

An induction of forward rolling pace.

And she alone asks nothing more,

But gives all I ask of her.

I see her mast so solidly,

Remains the focus of her strength.

For when I call upon her arm,

I worry not that she’ll protect.

The rigging has been stowed below,

The winds will not betray I see.

And when I call for her full sail,

Her beauty I will, again see.

Then drawing homeward on the tide,

Brings no complaints to my ears.

She rides the bow and sullen flow,

And sails me to protective quays.
