The Spirit wind
of God
blows and breathes 
bringing life 
to the water,
Three yachts -
Three ways to live
born in the harbour
born to sail
born to dream
born to hope.

One Anchored, 
sails furled curled
Holding to self 
Holding to material 
Holding to past 
Holding to mast,
Anchored to avoid risk
Heart hidden
The wind ripples past
singing through bare wire stays.

Second yacht 
Ripped, tipped, tripped over 
Heart exposed
Human error
Human blame game 
Fault 
Pain 
Waiting indecision 
Nothing being the decision 
It lies, water logged,
Sail drowning
feeling broken
Blame and shame
It hopes heavy 
It hopes hurt
The wind tugs past
Caressing over upturned hull.

Third yacht - gone 
Hitting the horizon 
Heart out 
Hammering
Skimming on waves 
Light on the water
Trusting to the future
Sharing love, control, life 
Intimate dancing 
with wind's direction,
responding to 
breezes, gusts, whispers
Calls to the future,
A Rider of the ocean depths
Flowing with the wind,
Trusting in fears
Trusting the wind
The wind flies with in
partnership motivation.

The wind 
Same for three 
Calling life
Calling change 
Calling trust.


Starting Thoughts: How are we living for Christ? Safe, broken or taking a risk? Stagnant, hurt or running with the wind?
