See Me

Catch me on a good day, and I'm under full sail, skipping across the waves
Catch me on a bad day, and I am bent under the burden of a light breeze
On a good day, find me bright and bustling, bursting with a fountain of ideas, images, and words
On a bad day, find me among the smoky shadows, addle-pated, dim, and dissipated
See me saddle the sun for a vigorous run across the sky
See me in my winding sheet, on my cooling board, sliding into the long goodbye
