He is as much the boat
as the water is the ocean
He is as cognate to the current
as the tides are to their motion
A simple man, a fisherman
with his home upon the sea
his only ties to an oar and cast,
he is freedom floating free

I love this. You really capture an idea of freedom.
Thanks Jane- it was very simple but it felt like it worked. Enjoy your Saturday
