BENEATH MY TOUCH
Photo ©Copyright 2004 by Charles J. IngersonFeeling the tremors
each piece of wood
from the finest timbers
this ship was good.
The sails full aloft
courses set this day
breezes ever soft
the rum line to stay.
Beneath my touch
vibrations of life
so gently to clutch
even in storm’s strife.
Easing and hardening
carrying tight the trim
now and then shuttering
fragile depths within.
