Sailing Alone Responses

I sail alone

The seagulls squawk their greeting happily

The sun shines its good day, smiling

The seals pop their heads up to say hi

The bell buoy dings a hello, louder as I get nearer

The clams bubble their ‘sups and what’s happenin’s

The wind kisses me on each cheek, laughing

The seaweed ripples its welcome to all of us

The water licks the sides of the boat, waving at us

We sail together
