Adieu

On deck I stand and have my arms propped on the railing of the boat. And there I'm fascinated and I stare. My eyes are fixed upon the waves, those beauties that are never tired. I hate to go, to turn away. I do. And once again, I'm back to say 'good bye'. I'm fascinated and I dream, my only love is waiting by the fire. And, to avoid disturbing fascination I slowly turn my life from waves away, but suddenly, at once, I understand- I cannot leave, the waves want me to stay! And now it's easy; there is no question, no world, no life, no wish to be. The waves are smiling now and making room for me. The last I say is 'happy' on this earth: I do. And slow, determined plays the water.
