Cruise

Anticipation of a cruise
Is half the fun studying maps
Reading about the destination
Ports, slow packing the minimal
Possible to take all in one roll on/
Off suitcase light enough to be
No bother and all the time my
Mind recalls sunsets at sea
Sunrises Stars in a night
Sky in constellations
Watching waves in
All sizes sipping a
Cup of tea in the
Lido learning to
Play bridge to
Watercolor
To visit an
Exotic
Port half
A world away
New sights sounds
The smell of markets
From Stockholm to Kure.
Why cruise? To experience
Life to the fullest learning new
Things sharing the experience
With someone for the shared
Memory of a journey taken
Together so when I can no
Longer sail on the seas
There will always be
The memories of
Where we went
What we did
New friends
New ideas
A flower
New to
Me.
