We are all small boats
cutters, sloops, schooners
bobbing in personal safe harbors.
Beyond the spit end, jagged piled rocks,
the glittering maw waves ceaselessly
dangerous and unknown to protected keels.
Unfurl the sail
swell the soul,
sail out, seek adventure.
We are all small boats
bobbing in personal safe harbors.
It is time to hoist the anchor, and go.
