I clambered up in the dark...

clung tightly to the rigging, up where the gentle slop of inshore magnified to a disorientating dizzying swell. I froze, exposed and afraid to let go, and there I almost stayed.

But I took a leap - flew free - down into the deep where there were arms reaching out to hold me.

... and I found love.

And a love that will wait.



Another in an incidental series. Love is everywhere when you are willing to find it.
