Close Calls
Close Calls
Rafts in rough
surging, thrashing
The surest,
trust that water
Surrender, find the way
to floating best we can
This is the work
Let’s see each other out
Scares, setbacks, close calls
lingering and sudden losses
all of it, here and coming
Reach out a hand
steady a neighbor
Revealed,
kith are steadying you
a web of care
“Surrender, find the way
to floating best we can…”
YES, more surrender and more floating. “Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream…” as John Lennon once sang.
Beautiful and moving!
