A HEAVY LADEN BOAT


A HEAVY LADEN BOAT


Sigh...the heavy laden boat
carries burdens and dreams
of our undoing but we carry 
them anyway in Holy love, 
not knowing if the boat will 
smash itself on the hidden
reef. 

The indifferent sea - lost in its 
waves, oblivious to our cry, 
blind to our outstretched hands 
and dangling feet -  remains 
enslaved by pulsing currents 
none can see.   

We drift slowly toward
Earth's sunset, waiting for 
the dark night, listening
to the gentle gurgle of the 
waves, hoping for angels to 
descend from Jacob’s ladder
to save us from our despair.
