I Love You
It comes from knowing where you belong.
Hoist the mainsail and the jenny.
Catch the wind and fly.
Rail skimming water.
Let go of thoughts
passing by.
As you sail the sea of story
with each wave you crest
tides and currents can take you
where you might not choose to rest.
There’s a storm coming
when you suddenly lose the wind.
You only have moments
to gather the sails, furl them,
rig the sea anchor for stability.
You know the seas, know Me.
Secure the hatch.
A great wave
taller than your mast
at times will threaten
then fall back.
Your vessel will wallow
in the seas you follow.
You can read the charts,
gauge the seas,
you can take sun shots.
Don’t forget to use
the instruments
of your heart.
When the storm is over,
when the pitch and toss have stopped
there will still be rolling seas
and debris others considered not.
Seek the calm within yourself.
I never left. I am your help.
I am master of everything.
I’ll bring you safely home again.
