As dusk settled
we set sail again
the winds were pushing hard,
we turned and turned
three sheets a broadside,
and how we rolled about
in the dark murky deep,
each time coming
back from the brink,
shouting and grappling
we clung for life
as waves crashed all around us,
then, as dawn approached,
we reached beyond
a sweat upon our brow,
we were four sheets on love
our longing now consumed.

Writing is a beautiful art, you paint colourful sceneries in people's minds by using words of black and white.
learning is earning, and we are making it easier.

I understood, don’t stress 🙂 I only have one language and I’m in awe of others who have more. Thank you Michael.
