I am standing on the edge of the beach.
A sailing boat passes in the morning breeze
And leaves toward the horizon.
It is beauty.
It is life.
Which I see until it disappears over the horizon.
Someone by me says 'It has gone'.
Gone?
Where?
Gone from my view, that is all.
Its mast is still as high.
Its hull still has the strength to carry its human cargo.
Its total disappearance from my view is only in my mind.
And just at the moment when someone by me says 'It has gone'
There are others who see it appearing on the horizon,
And exclaim with joy 'Look! There'.
