Serendipity by Nancy Ness From sheltered berth embarks the maiden sail With harbored spirit innocent and frail. As windward breath uplifts the halcyon veil, Alluring barques enrapture seafare's tale. Whence haven's port casts sanctity aside, Presumptuous youth cavorts a vernal tide. E'er wanderlust capricious hearts abide, The sea's unyielding sovereignty defied. Full mainsails prance midsummer's vast blue-green, Beguiling wanton ventures unforeseen. Felicity the guide as sloops careen Through maelstroms in waters once serene. Blithe wisdom falls; the robust tumults wane. Intrepid sails eye placid shores again. Now learned navigators ne'er to feign As fore 'n' aft, great journeys yet remain. Hibernal mariner with white-capped lore Of raging tempests in those days of yore, Aye, come about to tranquil deep before That beck, "Red-Right-Return" forever moor. Waft every crest upon your destined sea. Embrace the Wave of Serendipity, Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity.
