Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is discovery in honor of Columbus Day, which was
celebrated on October 9.
Today’s poem is about the ecstasy of the voyage.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Chasing the horizon
On a windy sea,
Land fast disappearing,
Underway and free!
Maybe there is something
Beyond that distant line,
Ultimately nothing
Senses can define.
Days may seem like moments,
And moments seem like years.
Yet the wind is mine!
