A Descriptive Narrative Poem

Sailing on the beautiful shiny blue ocean is relaxing. The sun is shining so bright that the water requies. Sailing is one sport that can be considered a holistic endeavor of athleticism blended with the natural elements of life. One can be taken to another mental dimension if you allow your mind to escape to the beauty of the water, the warmth of the sun, and the wind. You can escape in the flow of the waves, the subtleness of the fresh air whisking across your face and listening to the wind catch your sail moving you to new unchartered space in the vast ocean. I have experienced sailing as a young boy, and I was able to experience both the beauty of sailing in the natural environment of Hawaii, and also as a sportsman competing in the Junior Olympic competition. The combination of athleticism and nature is undeniable in the sport of Sailing. The sailing and maneuvering of boat in the water, and embracing the wind to become one with the ocean is to truly experience the beauty of the sport. In the silence between the waves you may allow yourself to become vulnerable to peace of the ocean, however, if you remain silent too long the ocean will awaken your senses and test your skills to keep your boat upright as you sail to your destination.

Life is a journey, a dance, a dream. It is often during the loss of something significant in your life that is allows you to reflect on the importance of that person or experience in your life.
