  • THE MAST: THE STORMS OF LIFE


    A SMOOTH LIFE,
    DOES NOT MEAN
    THERE ARE NO STORMS.
    WE ALL HAVE TO SAIL
    ON SEA OR GROUND
    THERE IS NO DIFFERENT.
    WE BOTH
    HAVE TO GET OUR FEET WET.
    FOR LIFE SAILS AROUND.

    THE MAST

     
    It’s not
    The Roughs
    Not the Storms

    It’s the Sinking
    That will
    Take me Down.


    Battered and Torn
    I am Still
    In One Piece

    My Mast
    May not be
    As it was Before.


    Cracking
    From all the Waves
    That Hit

    I Felt the Current
    Coursing Through.


    Changing me
    To New Directions.


    What Seas that Lie
    Beneath my Ship

    What Broken Vessels
    Will I Keep.


    To Sail across
    The Seas of Life?

    What Makes
    My Mast
    Strong and Right?


    A THOUGHT!

    Am I
    That Tall Ship
    From Long Ago

    Or just
    A Mask
    of Weathered Storms

    Showing
    All its Breakage?


    Dedicated To Richard

    A Poeatreeman

    One Course,
    Will not let me
    Go Aground.

    One will Take me,
    Through all Storms.

    One will Keep me,
    From Breaking up.

    One will Show me,
    The Northern Lights.


    POET’S NOTE

    A LOG OF LIFE

    The Port I Entered
    Will Be The One I Leave
    The Dock I Anchored
    Will Be Where I’ll Be
    The Log I  Kept
    Will Speak Of My Journey.
