THE ALBATROSS (continued)


THE ALBATROSS (continued)


THE Captain and
The ALBATROSS


Heard over the roar of crashing waves and salt spray


 .... and after the tears, the earth still spins ....

* * * * and still ...

Captain's heart was heavy as
    he tried to sail out to forever;
        then sailed his boat back in
            still clutching that one feather.

* * * * but then ...

In port one day, he heard a voice call to him,
and ask to sail, ask could they go out together?
As she walked to him, held out her hand
and took back her feather.
