In a small sailboat
I went to sea alone
and came back reborn.
A clear day and light winds
turned an intended short day
sail into high seas and strong
winds, 9 hours later I found my
way home, in a tattered boat,
an older and wiser man. With
a humility cake eaten whole
with nothing to wash it down
but salt water.
