Ships

All of a sudden I find myself humming I Saw Three Ships... Never thought of myself as one of the ships (or rowboats or life rafts).  Hmmm.  With the home front discombobulated from renovation, we bought one of those Walgreens tabletop trees for the corner of the family room.  This means not unpacking all the Christmas things into the midst of the kitchen supplies in the family room.  My daughter had a crazy math teacher the first part of the term... she retired November 1 (TBTG).  What was incomprehensible in September and October became comprehensible with the new teacher.  I see possibilities on the horizon.

I am a ship:

A frigate,

A rowboat,

Sometimes a mere

Life raft,

Sail pieced together

From all the old t-shirts

In the bottom dresser drawer.

Sometimes the wind blows

Fills the sail.

I move.

I am a frigate,

A rowboat,

A life raft

At sea.

There is land on the horizon.

I intuit

Possible

Safe

Harbor

When I finally

Arrive.
