#2. ADRIENNE II | Brazil To Gran Canaria | The Ocean

To be a sunrise,
A golden hue that silently
wakes the ocean blue

To be the ocean
that awakens
outstretching
Its glassy
Sheaths of morning dew

To be the morning hour
A delicate space of time
where the seas sip its first breath,
signalling the birth of a new day.

To be the clouds
Clouds stained in gentle rouge
Kissed by the lips of
Neptune’s Sea-Garden Muse

Liminality
A place of in-between
Where Stillness echoes
A sailor’s heart's soul melody.

We became the witness,
The eyes, and ears
of the Atlantic East.

And
This time
Our morning crew
knew
life would never be the same.

For there were no words to exchange
Instead, our hearts found
a seat on Adrienne’s wooden beams

Together
We held invisible hands
Greeted
by life’s
miraculous mysteries.

To be a Sailor...

Mahalo to captain Erik and first mate Tim
Who just knows... from the deepest layers of their heart and skin.

Nicole | Adrienne II Crew
