Goodbye to Bad Things

As the eastern sky grew darker,
I wondered if sailing west
would make my daylight
last longer...
So
I turned my vessel around,
I faced the blue,
the wind filled my sales,
and I chased the sun like a lifelong dream...
I didn't look back...
Not ever...

This poem is impressive in it's condensing true inner resolve in such a gentle, small package. So we all seek the right tack that will at last fill our sails toward a new and better horizon. Well done, Deedeebob...

Thank you so much for your words. It warms my soul to know that someone else understands. I wish you strong winds on your journey through life.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
