I enjoyed this piece very much. The poem, though not terribly complex, has a couple of twists that force my own thoughts in new directions. The author's voice is deep, rich, and very well measured and controlled. I especially like the way he turns a single word into a profound sentence. I am a little curious why the author has stopped to consider this moment, and why he has chosen to tell us about this moment. Was there an event that sparked his musings? Was there a person? Why does he choose to "go to sea no more?"
