The Dance of the Sea

So the sail lifts into the wind
Reaching up as to the arms of a lover
Finding its rhythm in tune with another
Two powerful forces as one
Creating a new space, moving through time
Slicing a trail towards the horizon
Sometimes charted, many times not
Together these two, keeping perfect balance as long as they can
The dance of the sea....
Still, we come as we go
Brief strikes of lightning
Touching down only an instant
Then dissipating into the clouds.
