and just like that
off we went
setting our course
for uncharted waters
full to the brim
with hopes, ideas, memories
free at last
of values, tastes, prejudices
that weren’t even ours, to begin with
a mere word, said en passant,
was the very wind filling our sails
our hearts the wheel
our eyes the rudder
whatever storms we might face,
whatever perils lie in wait,
we shall overcome
for the ship we’re on
is called ‘love’
Written on a breezy summer day…
