Brave

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.
