A Calmer Shore
Jul 29, 2010 in What's New!
The sun is setting
and the day is ending
and I set my craft toward land,
pointing directly to another place,
a calmer shore
just within my sight.
I let the nonessentials drop away,
lighten the ship for its destination.
No room for petty grievances anymore,
no space for past hurts
or unfulfilled yearnings.
I’ll let it drop away
only taking with me
what’s important now,
what was ever important.
My joys,
memories of love,
of kindnesses,
of peace and happiness.
The rest floats away, dissipates,
and I can’t help wonder now
why I ever spent any time on it at all.
Now in the stillness
it’s very clear,
as I point my craft toward a calmer shore.
