TO YOU by LEXIE DEAN ROBERTSON

First Line: MY THOUGHTS ARE LITTLE BOATS
Last Line: IT IS MY THOUGHT OF YOU.
Subject(s): ABSENCE; MEMORY; ROMANCE; SEASHORE; SEPARATION; ISOLATION; BEACH; COAST; SHORE;

MY thoughts are little boats
That sail about upon the sea of my dreams:
Tug boats, straining and pulling,
A loaded raft, a dory;
All inextricably confused.
Barges and scows,
And sometimes a canoe in a clear space.
Suddenly from the confusion emerges a beautiful skiff.
Its sails are white and gleaming in the brightness.
It skims across the waves with the grace of a sea gull.
It is my thought of you.
