Sorry gang, I cut and pasted the wrong version after spell check; corrected below. Ya gotta know a bit about Mariners to catch it. For Matt: Into The Mystic - by Doug Lloyd An ocean cradles my slender craft Not as a mother her own But life cradling the journey. The Mystery, the Profoundness of All Transcendence found in undulations Rising, falling. Floating above. Ere, my bonnie boat glides Fleeting spindrift. Wind-thrown away And the moments? Accounted for! So few really knew It rocked the gypsy soul Born before wind and waves. Hull. Water. Apart and one. Free of encumberances Magnificently. Visionary. A Legacy of friends. Into the Mystic all must go. The Mariner. There is no fear. Doug Lloyd Victoria BC (with appologies to Van Morrison) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
