We decode the stars –
into the melody of night winds
Listening to moon song
and reading tea leaves
Seeking mysteries
ignored by every day eyes
We navigate a world
finding the edges of the known
Departing for each unknown
with sails filled by hope
our course is set
and determination will drive us
Currents flowing in our favor
tidal forces in our own right
We are creatures
of sea and sky
Leaving land far behind
chasing the memory
of our lost selves – Caroline A. Slee
