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
