A sail boat is docked beside the pier
The lapping water is all I hear
I feel the breeze upon my face
I dream of blue skies and open space
To sail the sea without a care
No time for worries, just time to spare
A thought of new adventures crosses my mind
Of all the treasures that I will find
I'll gather stories from far and near
That I'll retell year after year
At night the moon will shine above
And I'll remember those whom I love
A little sadness enters my heart
as from this dream I must depart
I turn away with a slight smile
At least I was free for just a while

A sail boat is docked beside the pier
The lapping water is all I hear
I feel the breeze upon my face
I dream of blue skies and open space
To sail the sea without a care
No time for worries, just time to spare
A thought of new adventures crosses my mind
Of all the treasures that I will find
I'll gather stories from far and near
That I'll retell year after year
At night the moon will shine above
And I'll remember those whom I love
A little sadness enters my heart
as from this dream I must depart
I turn away with a slight smile
At least I was free for just a while
I was inspired to write this poem by a photograph that I took of a sail boat and I started dreaming about how nice it would be just to sail without a care
