In the distance, on the sea, a sailboat is making its way across the waters

It has been traveling a long time trying to find the way home

Stopping from time to time at a place and then starting the voyage again to locate home

Some times the boat gets caught on the rocks or in unexpected shallow waters and has to take time to dislodge before setting sail again
At night the boat is guided by the light from the moon as it seeks a sign in the distance showing the way home

Then all of a sudden one night a bright light shines across the waters creating a line of light on the water
The sailboat adjusts its course and starts its final voyage home

By the shore is a man, somewhat hidden in the midst of the night holding up a lantern facing the water

As the sailboat gets closer, it can make out the light and shadow of a man

The sailboat is on its way home
Seeing the sailboat in the far distance, the man starts moving the lantern back and forth

The sailboat keeps its course until it lands back home from a long voyage
It feels good to be  home......
