MAN, BOAT, REFLECTIONS
A warm summer evening, man alone with his boat
A beautiful bay, a cooling breeze
Voices from other boats mix with the sounds of water
Man and boat are almost one, many shared adventures
Silence of moonlit nights, shelter of bays and ports
Power of storms and sea, joys of dolphins and whales
Reflections in the water, sun oven the water
Ever moving wavelets, ever changing light
No computer, no internet, no locked door
Time to reflect on the past, the people, the places
Disconnected by time and space, returning in mind
Memories of love, of desire, of touch
Memories of friendships and adventures
Memories of moments like this
Things that were, things that might have been
Reflections brought from the subconscious
Hopes and desires for the future
People to meet, places to visit, life to live
Joys and loves to experience
Thoughts of the here and now, this moment
Special friends to share the moment
To share the sunset to share the clear air
To share a smile, a joke, a meal, a drink
Man is happy alone with his boat
Man is happy to share the special moments
To share the breeze, to share the reflections
Man will sleep, boat will keep the night watch.
