We Sail Georgian Bay
Cross the big sound
four or five tacks through Killbear Channel
past Davy Island
there the world turns inside out
emptiness expands
and we become part of nowhere
Behind the islands
starlight leads to sleep
then waking
a morning breeze
carries us back to nowhere
to nowhere at all.
