(*) Forever Sailing Poem by Sailing to windward

For my darling brave friend Lindy, who tragically lost her husband - my shipmate Malcy, when he was killed by pirates in Thailand. We paid the ferryman with a silver coin on his coffin and he is free now to sail forever.


In the hopeful seconds of dawn
and in the dazzle of sunlight on water
I see you

In the gentlest of zephyrs
and in the most thunderous storm
I hear your voice

In the warmth of my bed
And in all that touches me
I feel you

In the smiles of our children
And in the smiles of their children too
We know you

And In my mind
I will hold fast
to your starlit hand,
And we shall sail forever
