Sail,

Sail into the wind,

Cut,

Turn,

Run with it.

 

It blows

This way,

That way,

Jostling

With the waves.

 

It can take us,

Buffet us,

Throw us

Off our course,

Yet…

 

… we can

Drop our sail,

Ride out the waves,

Observe the storm,

Wait.

 

Wait for calm to return,

Raise our sail,

And

Head for home

Once again.
